Starbucks

This morning I went in and there were a couple people in front of me and no big deal. I did notice there was only one woman working there by herself which happened to be Janel. She was very nice and I could tell she was busy and I felt so bad for her. There should be at least a couple people working there in the morning... it’s a coffee shop. I would of helped her if I could but I had to get to work. This is basically to say that she was sweet and was doing the best she could, she deserves a raise!

I joined the Starbucks reward program. There were a few hiccups, like that stars did not post when they should have, & my first free drink for signing up took an entire week longer than the information said it would. But, either the store or the corporate headquarters made it right every time. I started out just ordering the chai tea latte, but ventured out, at the barista suggestion, & tried a black & white. This is not one the menu & can not be made at all of the stores, but it is amazing! Essentially it is dark chocolate & white chocolate mixed together! Then, during a challenge to get extra stars (it really is not that hard to get the gold card!) a barista suggested I try a white tea with strawberry juice. That is now my all time favorite, though I do ask for half the sugar syrup to be added! During a Safeway just-for-U promotion I tried the egg bites, my favorite (as in I crave) is the gryere cheese & bacon egg bites! The soft cheesy goodness is what breakfast was created for! The next down the line would be the chicken chorizo egg bites. If you are in the mood for a pastry & don't have nut allergies, you might want to try the pumpkin bread. I especially like to smear plain yogurt on it, but I have made it especially decadent by using vanilla yogurt & added chopped fruit! Now that's a Sunday brunch... If you add the egg bites! I recently tried their box meals. It was surprisingly filling! The chicken bacon one is my favorite, though their turkey one is awesome as well! My only concern is that the cut half apple never browned, even after being stored in my fridge over night.
