You don't go to Starbucks for regular coffee. You go for espresso. And really for a big chain that is everywhere and is fairly convenient the espresso isn't bad.

I don't drink much of it anymore though. There's a local place here that had me hooked on dirty chais for awhile but it a) gets expensive as and b) I hated feeling like I NEEDED the caffeine to function.

After you finish off the the first 20oz or so, do the remaining 50oz stay warm?

Really? I think Krispy Kreme has a way better glazed donut than places like Shipley's or Duncan Donuts. I haven't tried anything else on their menu though.

The Krispy Kreme product never lived up to the hype.

Well yeah, no donut is going to be worth waiting an hour in line for on a store's grand opening. It reminds me of when all the Dallas people here were pissed a few months ago when they found out In N Out wasn't worth waiting behind 150 cars in the drive thru.

Yeah, it's an insulated mug...I don't like it scalding hot anyway.

I don't know of any religion that approves of liars. Does yours?

If so, which religion is it?

I don't know any other donut shop that gives you a free, heavily glazed donut right off of the rack while you wait in line.

It's bad ass, imo.

Try two and a half or more.

I worked at the IHOP at dezavala when the first one opened here (in the University bowl parking lot. I lived in the apartments right next to it and so I walked to work every day. When it opened, they shut down the bowling alley, and used their parking lot to snake everyone through (they had cones set up and everything), and even using the entire parking lot, the line for the drive through still went out onto the frontage road, and took up the right lane all the way PASSED the damn stop light at dezavala. People were sitting there in their damn cars with the motor running and as I was walking passed, one guy rolled down his window and said "hey, do you know how long it will be from here" and I told him that there was a sign about 10 cars ahead of him that said 2 hours. Then I proceeded to tell him that Austin is an hour away, and they had a KK that had been opened for a while and was sure to not have a line. He could be there and back before he got through the drive through that was half a mile ahead of him. He got that stoner "WOW YEAH" look on his face and took off.

People are ing stupid, and no, I still haven't been to a KK (I have eaten a donut when someone brings them into work, but there is NO reason to wait in line for those.

This post garners 9 white liberal points.
Mentions Starbucks: 1 point
Mentions espresso twice: 2 points
Pretends that most people go to Starbucks for espresso rather than the 1000-calorie food porn drinks: 1 point
Mentions chai tea: 1 point
Curse word used ironically: 1 point
Alludes to knwoing the "evils" of caffeine but leaves the door wide open not to do anything about it: 3 points

If you can reach 100 white liberal points in any given day you get entered in a drawing for a Toyota Prius.

P.S. if you are wearing those men's "deck shorts" that are essentially male capri pants, in a color such as coral, yellow, or aqua, you go straight to 100 points, and also get a free proposition from your gay acquaintances.

I had never seen anything like that, before or since.

It took a full 6 months or so for that line to be tolerable.
