Prophet Zacharia Posted July 20, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2018 Without a functioning coffee machine: 1) Going without coffee before work is not impossible, but highly undesirable. I actually knew this, but it was confirmed. 2) The closest coffee shop between my home and work is a Starbucks. I knew this, too, but was pleasantly surprised at how unbusy it was. 3) There is an app allowing you to pre-order your coffee drink and pay for it prior to arriving at the store. Everyone (but me) seems to use it. One woman had forgotten her phone, but was able to borrow her friend’s phone to place her order in advance. 4) Because of this app, the line to order and pay for your coffee was never more than one person, and often there was no line. So that was good. 5) The app allows people a sense of entitlement that then allows them to leave their car in the middle of parking lots or driveways, unbothered by the traditional need to find a parking space. Which is annoying, even after getting my coffee fix. 6) Eagerly awaiting delivery of new coffee machine today so I can return to the world free of Starbucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted July 20, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2018 People that are so entitled to think that they don't have to park in a spot just annoy the living shit out of me. the same with people that can't fit in spots and hang over the lines. If I can fit my full size truck in there then your little gas saving POS can fit as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted July 20, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2018 I could qualify for a handicap parking quite easily. Trouble is that there are no designated handicapped cyclist parking spots. What's up with that? I like coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted July 20, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2018 We have free coffee at work. Two kinds - Dark Roast, Regular and Decaf. Usually no waiting. Sometimes have to make a pot or wait for one brewing. Did I mention its free. We just make coffee at home on the weekends. Usually there's enough leftover on Sunday I don't need to make more.

Well, I had online ordered my purchases for pick-up prior to my coffee machine dying. And by the time I picked them up, I had already ordered one from Amazon. Saved $7. Which I spent at Starbucks. ?

MickinMD ★ Posted July 20, 2018 Share #34 Posted July 20, 2018 Sometimes an app can make you take much more time. I used an app to preorder at a Taco Bell. I drove to the drive-thru to pick it up as something went wrong with their cooking machinery. If I hadn't pre-ordered and prepaid for the food, I would have driven away. As it was, I ended up waiting for 1/2 hour for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
