Don't you love Starbucks?

I hate Starbucks...don't you?

Especially when they give you a giant sized pot of wishy-woshy latte coffee in a vast styrofoam beaker with some sort of plastic top on it and then expect you to slurp the stuff with a straw through a little tiny hole in the top...yuk!!

However, what they do give you (at least in some establishments) are those rather handy beechwood sticks...completely useless for stirring coffee, but rather desirable in a 'shop, so desirable that I've 'accumulated' half a big ice-cream tub of the things...

More so, in fact, when there's a delicate little job to do like getting the wax out of all the 'crooks and nanny's' on a cabinet back panel.  Slice one into a chisel edge with a Stanley knife, wrap round a soft duster and it'll get into all those elusive, hard to get at places.

The only positive to say about Starbucks is at least it looks like they're going to pay a bit more tax...

Nope, I am a regular customer of Starbucks.

Grande Soy 7 pump Chai latte, no water no foam.

Good morning in a cup!

I'm afraid BW, that you're not interpreting the Blokelog in quite the right manner...tongue should be firmly in cheek...

point for you woodbloke :)

I don't like them either because they make our cities look all the same (sometimes I forget where I am currently but that's not the topic of this post either).

They're also good fro scratching places you can't reach once wood dust made its way there ;)
