It has only been a month since I last forgo starbucks, and since i've been limiting myself to once or twice a week. I'm giving them up again because I had a rude experience there and well It was a bit of a final straw.

On my way to Megan's Karate class thursday afternoon, I pulled into the drive through because I was craving an Iced Coffee. When I got to the window I placed my order ... Iced Grande Decaf please.

The reply I got was - We can't do that!. What do you mean? We can do regular Iced but not decaf - What ? I say come again? he repeats it. I don't want a frappacino I just want iced Decaf coffee. He then says - look I know what you want and we can't do it.

Its on your menu - right under drip - Iced Coffee - Regular or decaf. - NO he yells its not. I'm looking right at it. Do you have ice? I ask... yes he says... Do you have decaf coffee? ... Yes he says - so why the hell can't you put the two together and give me an Iced DECAF Coffee?

Because we aren't allowed. - FIne - Me and my money are leaving. and I drove through . As I went around the building I noticed an employee come out and go look at the menu - But for me that was it - I don't kindly to being told no when I'm reading it off the damn menu. I'm sure if I conplained to corporate I'd get an apology and maybe even a coupon for a freebie - but really this just reinforces to me that I need to give up starbucks once and for all. Its crazy to spend so much on coffee - when I make decent at home.

On a side - the very next day Megan had Gymnastics and I never did get my iced coffee - so I brewed some coffee - added Ice and was happy all the way to Gymnastics.
