Which, according to a thread on StarbucksGossip.com, returns on Tuesday, September 6.
Take that with a grain of salt. Or pumpkin. Or spice. I dunno. I don't drink the stuff.
Which is the moral of this story.
I'm sitting at my table. At least, I tend to think of it as my table. It is one of the ones with the chessboard on the tabletop, right near an outlet and with a good view of the register, the handoff bar and the entire cafe.
In other words, I can see all the drama taking place.
I'm trying to find motivation and failing. Miserably. Instead, I'm looking aghast at news that, for a fourth night - London, one of the greatest cities on earth - is collapsing into chaos.
I'm really not paying attention as some middle-aged runner-dude, in way-too-short and too-tight blue Adidas nylon shorts and a white shirt, come in.
He wants a pumpkin spice latte. Pumpkin spice latte being a fall drink - the baristas cannot prepare a pumpkin spice latte.
"Well, I guess I'll have a regular latte then."
Well, I guess you will. He wasn't rude, just sort "well, why don't you?"
Which is actually a good question - because people are all sorts of in love with this drink. Sort of like McRibs (before you realize that they're made out nothing even close to port).
Anyway.
He doesn't tip, but starts chatting to the baristas about his great love for pumpkin spice latte and how he always loves when Starbucks has them. And he loves cold weather and pumpkin spice lattes (please note that it was 95 degrees where I live this week, with heat indices WELL above that).
I'm not paying any attention - then I feel three sets of eyes on me.
I look up, stare back and go "what?"
One of my favorite baristas says "Pumpkin spice man!"
I go - "I don't drink that."
Which sort of deflates the conversation.
They later want to know if I want the last pumpkin loaf - which I decline. I'm not a fan of pumpkin. It is too chewy. And it tastes funny.
Give me chocolate or give me death!
I had the exact same conversation with a customer last night. Except that she was actually really rude about it haha. Oh well what can ya do?
ReplyDeleteI like it, I didn't realize it returned so quickly! I love the eggnog latte, but it has about a buzzillion calories for shizzle. But I'll go outta my way to get a Starbucks anytime because I am a junkie :P
ReplyDeleteI love it!! I did a Google search to see when it would be back and stumbled upon this blog. Starting school next week... my last semester!!!! Nothing better than a pumpkin spiced filled fall.
