Starbucks - The New McDonalds

Okay, so I went to Starbucks this morning and the lady at he counter asked me what I wanted. I told her I needed a "Grande White Mocha with whipcream". Do you know what she asked me next? "What size"!!!!



What part of Grande did she not understand especially since I always see here there so I know she has worked there for a while. What size? Hmm, maybe I should have said Venti so that when she does give that to me, I would just pay for what I initially asked for...the customer is always right, right?

















Lately, I have been reading the newspapers more, well, actually I prefer the free ones www.redeyechicago.com and you see all these news items about celebrity couples breaking up! Well, lately and I think this may have started with Tom Cruise or was it Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, anyway, now when couples break up they put out a Press Release that always includes the phrase "The couple remains close and asks that you respect their privacy at this difficult time." They remain close yet its a difficult time..hmm sounds like a booty call to me, besides whats so private about it if you decide to share with us all, we have a right to ask why? when? what happened? Who dumped who?








Our latest victim is Gabrielle Union, that fine specimen of a black woman. Who would dump a woman like that? Her now former husband who is a football player for the Jacksonville Jaguars ought to have his head knocked on the football field. But I digress...
