Starbucks = Cheers

This post could be alternatively titled "How you know that you've spent too much time at one Starbucks "

Today, like most days, I'm at Starbucks to study and do lesson planning. I just went up to order, and ordered "the Normal", and the barista at the register rang up my order, I paid, and eventually my drink came, and all was good.

A couple minutes later, I look at my cup, in the area they write the order, and the barista at the register simply wrote "JOEL" and the barista making the drink knew exactly what to make.

Sometimes the manager just brings me my drink for free without me having to order or pay.

I think I need a new drink... or a new place to study.

Then again, "You wanna be where everybody knows your name".
