It's past midnight ... I sitting at my desk, drinking hot apple cider ...
and I would like to share a story with you ... this happened 5 years ago, before I lost my starbucks virginity ... I was young and innocent ...
growing up, my mom was a coffee-aholic ... she never beat me, but she did drink quite a bit of coffee ... so, I avoided coffee for most of my life ... in high school, I was convinced that 'coffee' was from the devil ... so, instead I drank beer ... more healthy and loosened me up ...
so, 5 years ago I visited Starbucks for the first time ... earlier that day, one of my friends recommended a drink ... the Caramel Lape Cider ... yep, that's a Lape Cider ...
so, I finally mustered the courage to overcome my coffee-phobia ... I waited in line ... when asked, "what would you like?" ... I replied with confidence, "I'll have a Caramel Lape Cider" ... blank stare ... I repeated the order, "that's a Caramel Lape Cider" ... blank stare ...
and she politely responded, "we don't have Lape Cider's" ... she paused for a moment ... "would you like a Caramel Apple Cider?" ... quickly catching on, I nodded my head ... "yep, that's it, a Caramel Apple Cider" ... humiliation ... but I enjoyed the drink ...
don't listen to friends ...

Hehe. Great story. And I'm glad I'm not the only one working late.
That's funny Nate. I used to work at Starbucks and you'd be amazed at the strange things that people ask for. So don't feel bad, you're not the only one. :)
