Bye friend.

Okay you ALL know that I am a huge coffee fan!  And you also know that I frequent Starbucks……….well, frequently.  It has become a Wednesday morning ritual for me, Kim, and Tyler to hit up SB after our gym sweat sessions on Wednesday.  I also make random, sometimes out-of-the-way trips, to Starbucks throughout the week.  I heart their tall non-fat mistos. 

In addition, it is not uncommon that my french pressed coffee made in the mornings at my house is made using fresh ground Starbucks beans. 

Soooooo after saying all this, would it shock you for me to say that I am choosing to take a hiatus from my local Starbucks?!?!?!

Why??

Well……my local Starbucks, I feel recently, has drastically gone down hill.  Its staff have now been renamed by me, Tyler, and Kim the “coffee police,”  the milk/sugar bar is frequently untended, the bathrooms are a sad disappointment, and this morning we were swatting flies.    Sadly, my local Starbucks has lost its charm.

I will continue to stop by infrequently because I still have a Starbucks giftcard.  But expect my trips to become less frequent.  Until then, bye friend. 

Have you ever taken a break from a favorite hot spot of yours because it has lost its charm???
