Guys, I did something tonight i swore up and down I'd never do.
My post-5K afternoon went something like this:
1. Lunch with Donna
2. Come home, relax out a bit
3. Realize that my insides were more cold than I thought when I get the chills, curl up with thermal blanket for a bit and nap
4. Shower, dry hair, dress
5. Pack up laptop and go to Scottie's, my favorite coffeehouse, to write.
It's at this point that I committed An Egregious Sin.
I went up to the barista and ordered...wait for it...a venti nonfat latte.
Venti.
The guy looked at me without missing a beat and said "Venti's large, right?"
*FACEPALM*
I apologized profusely. I know it used to bug the shit out of me when I worked at the Borders cafe and people came in and ordered stuff as if every coffeeshop was Starbucks.
The barista laughed at my discomfiture but I was mortified. I was That Person. That Starbucks Person.
On the plus side, at Scottie's they have this totally kickass sugar-free English Toffee syrup that I only wish Starbucks had. They have sugar-free Irish Cream, too. Must try that sometime.
I would have stayed longer but there was live music.
lifestyle: starbucks,
daily life: embarrassment
