I have a strong feeling that all of us have heard an order along these lines at some time in our lives. From caramel macchiatos, to chai tea lattes, to the coveted pumpkin spice lattes, and so on, Starbucks has it all. I’m fairly positive that everyone has been in a Starbucks at least one time in his or her life. Some of us go every once in a while, and others go on a daily basis. When fall arrives, it seems that Starbucks is the Holy Grail. But, what is so fabulous about Starbucks that makes us all flock to it? Is it the coffee itself, or the brand name? Personally, I think it’s both. But, either way, you’ve got to admit that place can make one rockin’ coffee, any way you want it. Some like a ton of chocolate in their drink, some love salted items, some love ten shots of espresso. It’s pretty neat how one tiny coffee place can make all of these items so efficiently and so well. It must truly be a fast-paced job for the baristas. If you have ever been to the Starbucks in Times Square, you’ll know that those baristas are literally running through that place. Granted, that Starbucks is huge. But, either way, those are some dedicated workers. I mean look at all of the amazing work and time that goes into making you, the consumer, one drink. It’s neat, isn’t it? Maybe we should appreciate it more. And the only way to that is to buy more coffee, of course. So, go ahead, treat yourself once a week, or five times a day. It’s all going to a fabulous “cause.”
