We might be addicts

DelusionalAngel — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:14:59 +0000

Our locals Starbucks not only knows our names and orders but yesterday one of their employees announced, as we went to pay “It’s on me today, you guys are always in here”. Awww they’re so good to us. We are addicts. Random acts of kindness rock. heh.

Little late on this one

The full list of the Starbucks closures…

http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/USStoreClosureInfo.pdf

Of course Starbucks says it is providing this list as general information only and not as an obligation on their part to actually close these stores. Perhaps because they knew some people would protest some of the closures? Seattle takes it’s Starbucks seriously afterall, they are collecting signatures to save a store there.

Want to save yours? Good luck, but here’s your starting point: Save Our Starbucks

Splenda!

OMFG! I just discovered that Starbucks’ doubleshot light is sweetened with Splenda. I pretty much stopped drinking soda when 7up decided to stop offering a splenda version though I occasionally drink one of my BF’s diet coke’s because — sweetened with splenda. I don’t like having too much sugar. And whether the stories are true or not (and yes I realize every sweeter can be bad) Splenda appears to be the one with the least warnings etc, so I feel best about using it if getting low calorie sugar free stuff. So YaY Starbucks, since most other we use Splenda in our products companies I liked switched back to aspartame, which I won’t use when I’m paying attention anyway

Another at home iced coffee I can easily have without it being a pain to make as it’s made for me!

Naughty Starbucks?

A Christian organization calling itself “The Resistance” has released the following press release:

Starbucks has recently introduced a new version of their logo which features a topless mermaid with her legs spread, which has caused outrage from a nation wide Christian media watchdog organization. The Resistance, with has over 3000 members nationwide, is boycotting Starbucks across the country saying their new logo is inappropriate.

The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute, explains Mark Dice, founder of the group. Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves, Slutbucks.

I kind of like her, guess I’m going to hell

I finally tried McDonalds iced coffee

Hazelnut to be exact. I must admit, while I AM addicted to coffee, I’m not a fan of just coffee. It has to be iced, well the occasional hot latte, but even in winter I prefer iced. And yes it’s those “girly” drinks. Lots of milk, sometimes mochas. No black coffee for me. So perhaps I’m almost the reverse of a coffee snob? It seems like coffee snobs tend to be the ones who are very picky about certain roasts, flavours, blends, whatever. Me? Throw some coffee / espresso and a bunch of milk with some ice and maybe a syrup or chocolate in a cup and I’m happy.

That said, McDonalds iced hazelnut = Yummmy Yummy in my tummy. Yeah, I said it. I might even try the plain iced coffee next time I’m at a McDonalds. I’ll probably skip vanilla though.

Oh, did I say I’m NOT a coffee snob? I am I guess. I’ve found two flavours I don’t think work well in iced coffees = vanilla and honey. I’ve tried the vanilla ones at Starbucks and meh, they just don’t work for me. And also at Starbucks they had a honey latte I thought sounded interesting especially when I was getting over a cold, honey is good for sore throats right? Ohh, honey and iced coffees at least do NOT mix. Not sure about hot ones, but the iced experience was enough to make me not want to find out.

It’s official we’re addicts

I am pretty sure that every regular employee at our local Starbucks knows my regular drink and Brian’s by heart and most know our names. We might be addicts, even though we only go on weekends usually. Though, I’m kind of evil, I through them for a loop at times and *gasp* dare to order something different where as Brian can pretty much only drink a venti latte with 2 sweet and lows or he might die.

I’m also thinking of redoing the coffee cup logo for this very page as I really did rush it and when my mommy person isn’t busy someday teaching her how to use her log in so she can post some coffee recipes… hmm…

My name is…

This is mainly a test post. It’s also about what inspired this site, a Starbucks cup. I don’t know about your Starbucks, but mine likes to ask for your name so they can write it on the cup and never use it. I always speak clearly but I have an unusual name and Starbucks employees don’t tend to like to ask how to spell it. So every weekend on our trip to Starbucks, my boyfriend and I like to tee hee over how many ways they spell my name. For the record, my name is Ramie and is pronounced Ray-me. I’ve never had it spelled correctly on a Starbucks cup, unless they ask, and as I said they don’t like to ask.

How does that lead to us starting a blog? Well I thought I’d seen every possible variation of my name until I saw it spelled with a Q. Apparently I’m Quami now. We decided that I should start a blog with all of the different spellings, for fun. But hey, even with a new spelling every weekend, one can only post so many Starbucks cup pictures and since my mom used to own a coffeeshop we’ve decided to write a blog about all things coffee. It will be a joint effort. Which is a good thing… Because a cup like Quami is a rare thing. Rami… Ramey… Raimie… those I get every few weekends. But mom, she actually knows something about coffee.
