Here I thought I wasn\u2019t going to have anything to write about today, but all it took was a trip down to Starbucks for me to once again conclude that people ruin everything, and feel like writing about it.<\/span><\/p>\n So pretty much on a daily basis, my routine is that I get a cup of coffee in the morning when I get into the office, and because I\u2019m an addict, usually around 2 pm, I go back to get a refill, because one of the benefits to\u00a0being a Gold card holder<\/a>\u00a0is that refills are free.<\/span><\/p>\n Refills are on somewhat of an honor system; I buy a cup every morning; it\u2019s roughly $1.90 for 12 ounces, which I get a refill for free later in the day.\u00a0 Sure, extrapolate the numbers, and I\u2019m spending somewhere around $500 a year on coffee probably, but everyone\u2019s got to have a vice.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, I\u2019m aware that it would extremely easy to hold onto a single cup, and ride it the whole week or conceivably longer, but that\u2019s just a shitty thing to do in my opinion.\u00a0 Not only does it scream extreme cheapskate, there\u2019s something about the nature of taking a paper cup, regardless of how resilient, or eco-friendly\/efficient it is, and introducing moisture into it, letting it try, rinse and repeat numerous times over, and expecting it to be as clean as it was the first go-around.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, I\u2019m too much of a paragon to exercise such petty unethical practices.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, not enough of everyone else can say the same.\u00a0 I was told by the cashier on shift that this particular Starbucks was going to have to require receipts in order to get refills, regardless of card status, because apparently too many people were abusing the refill system, and doing exactly what\u2019s mentioned above; camping a single cup, and riding it for an inordinate amount of time.<\/span><\/p>\n Now it\u2019s not the end of the world for me to have to get a receipt each morning, and make sure to present it to the workers in the afternoon, but it\u2019s simply the fact that the cheapskate dick behavior of others ruining a good thing that has me feeling a little salty.\u00a0 It just agitates me that I have to modify my routine and behavior, on account of others ruining it for everyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n Not lost on me is the fact that this is a penultimate example of a white person first-world problem, but like I said, it\u2019s not like I had anything better to write about today either.\u00a0 People ruin everything.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here I thought I wasn\u2019t going to have anything to write about today, but all it took was a trip down to Starbucks for me to once again conclude that people ruin everything, and feel like writing about it.
