What kind of coffee drink did you have? I find that without the proper drink you might not get the full Starbucks experience.

Iced coffee only. I don't drink those $5 frappe crappy whatever's. The sugar and calories in one of those things is off the charts.

Had to chime back in. To those that think it was all made up, these days people have absolutely no issues expressing themselves or their opinions no matter how Fd up they are. I personally hate discussing my watches in public. Like I mentioned it was an interesting point counterpoint discussion that has been debated on numerous message boards and has merits on both sides. I have my priorities and he had his. In this area the many vulgar displays of wealth take on numerous forms. Given I have no kids and done semi well in my career watches are my form of indulgence.

Forget about it. There's hardly anyone left in the world who even knows how to spell the word tact anymore and common sense is as rare as hen's teeth.

So, you ran into a pontificating jerk at Starbucks. I doubt that's an uncommon experience.

Lol sorry I was joking based off of the recent Diet Coke AD thread in the main forum. I too drink only iced however I need to do decaf Americano.

Had the guy said that to me I would have told him to f'off and mind his own business.

Nice to have a little luxury in your life. You're dead a long time.
