Im sitting in a Starbucks right now; I drove here after being disturbed during journaling more times than one at home. I need my alone time when I’m journaling - I need you to not look at or talk to me, and I definitely don’t need to have you constantly asking me what you can eat for breakfast. Sigh. Kids. I thought they were supposed to be independent at this age. You mean I still have to make them breakfast? And more importantly: Why aren’t they sleeping in on a weekend? Anyway. I came to Starbucks, and I came to this one in particular because i’s the VIP of all Starbucks. There is only one Starbucks Reserve in my area, and even though it’s a bit out of the way, and there are other places closer to me, I always come here because of the vibe. When you go to Starbucks, you order what you want, and then you either go and sit down, or you get your order to go. Here, it’s as though you’re visiting someone’s home. Someone that treats you like family, but that leaves you alone when you are clearly in the zone. They are always coming around with free snacks (which I have to politely decline due to my desire to not consume animals, but I still appreciate the thought). They are always smiling - seriously ALWAYS smiling - everyone. They all yell “welcome!” and “good morning!” when people walk in and “thank you!” and “have a great day!” when people walk out. I feel like I’m visiting a bunch of my friends every time...
