Things you see at the Atascocita Starbucks on 1960 near Wal-Mart (as written to me by guest blogger Kasey)

Who says small town coffee shops are boring? Needed a study break so thought I would share a few of my morning highlights
  1. The old, old lady who struggled with her coffee order, paid with cash and then proceeded to stand by the trash can tearing the receipt into a hundred tiny pieces -- to avoid identity theft, she paid with cash?
  2. The music video maker (as he announced to the ladies of starbucks) wearing spurs on his boots and black jacket with "OBEY" written in glitter across the back. Added bonus....stopped and winked at me on his way out asking me how long until I graduate (remember, I have books, highlighters, ect in front of me). Maybe I should have asked for his business card so I have options if this CPA thing doesn't work out.
  3. The Little Person in training (I'm being PC) that the Starbucks people greet with a yell of "The Princess has arrived" when she shows up for work.
  4. Continued #1.....the old, old lady hung around looking at all the coffee machines available for sale and carefully reading the packaging on EACH bag of coffee displayed in store. (all while wearing a red shirt with a Christmas tree and wreaths embroidered on it - it is April right?)
  5. The retired women that went back to work part-time at Starbucks who keeps bringing me her "practice" drinks to sample as she is learning the ropes. Practice will be good for her...
  6. The "couple" sitting at the table next to me....Older guy in his 50's explaining to a young girl in her late 20's how she needs to act at some event this evening, what she needs to wear, what she should say -- strange, can you say escort service??

And for the patrons of all ages wearing flip flops, shorts, t-shirts that roll in and out --- Do any of these people actually have a real job - seriously, what do they do all day?
