Starbucks Breakdown

I'm starting to understand the whole Starbucks coffee thing. With so many options and combinations you slide from order counter to pick up counter with the same relief on your brow as when you passed your college exams. There are so many ways to personalize your order that it becomes you, not in a nutshell, but a coffee cup. Extra espresso for the extra expressive, non fat sugar free for the diet soda drinkers, that is, if they haven't devoured one that morning already, seasonal drinks for the festive and joyful, soy for.....lets face it....the tad pretentious and decaf drinkers shouldn't be wasting the Barista's time in the first place. Tall for the beginners, Grande for the rest of us and Venti for those who like their pick-me-up inconsumably large. But you don't walk out of the shop proudly holding your beverage because you made it past the order counter or because it's the trend, you hold it there for the world to see because it is a tiny reflection of yourself...........and you taste oh so yummy.
