Coffee

[imprimis5]

In the course of my job at a major coffee retailer, I wonder how many of you in the Indianapolis area I've served. Just a strange musing I had just now.

I loves me some espresso drinks. Mmmm. And, of course, bacon

God gave us coffee. (Hebrews)

Where do you serve the magical elixer?

 

[imprimis5]

Mostly in Plainfield, though I did spend about a month at a store on west 38th Street, in Indy. But more than three years in Plainfield, now.

 

[ATM]

Good to know. I'll find ya when I need the juice around Pfield

 

[JetGirl]

I don't live near Indy...but somehow, I'm pretty sure that I'm "job security" for anyone in the coffee industry...

I love the coffee (well, the expensive, girly, frou-frou coffee drinks, that is), I just can't afford it. From my wallet NOR my waist.

Plus, I'm just not a big fan of all the mamby pamby "fair trade" garbonzo that a certain coffee retailer talks up.

Of course, neither of the above keeps me from patronizing every once in a while...

*sigh*

Well thank God somebody finally said it. STARBUCKS, DAMNIT, STARBUCKS! Geez. How would we know if this was about Starbucks, Panera, or McDonalds, who probably sells more coffee than the other 2 combined, if nobody says it? The OP didn't say. Maybe it's 7-11 or some other convenience store. A brave young lady has come forward to lead us from the fog of confusion known as "major coffee retailer". You've been outed! So there.

I don't like Starbucks. I prefer one of the above-mentioned not-so-major coffee retailers, hands down. Sadly, the "7-11 experience" isn't as big a selling point as the "Starbucks experience". But consider this: Starbucks won't give you 5 cents off a gallon of gasoline for using their pre-paid debit card! So there!

 

[Pami]

Starbucks is a convenience thing for me: it's three doors down from my place of employment and has free(ish) wi-fi while I'm waiting for my DH to come get me.

goofballs.

although.. "drunken horndog" does sometimes apply in this case, but not usually when he's on his way to pick me up from work. At least not the drunken part.

Anways, she is my wife. I am sure I know you or have seen you. What shift do you work, I am in there at least a few times a week.

 

[SilentWarrior1]

Good to know. I'll be sure to open carry and wear my INGO hat next Starbucks run.

I have been to many different Coffee houses in my travels and quite a few in Indy area. Although I must admit I just like strong coffee, not much else. None of the special blends or flavors, JUST coffee. We have a double pot at home and on many days we go through 2 between my wife and I. I really like the equal exchange coffee, both on taste and principle. I wish coffee was able to be a local crop. I always try to buy local first.
