I have watched the changing of the guard for repeated days now
|
1 |
|
And they still ask me if I want whipped cream.
|
2 |
|
Nothing is the flavor of the month any longer.
|
3 |
|
No longer are they employees of a higher service in my eyes
|
4 |
|
But rather providers of benevolent goods known only as
|
5 |
|
Baristas.
|
6 |
|
I am a Starbucks junkie.
|
7 |
|
|
|
|
They no longer blurt out “Have a nice day”
|
8 |
|
But rather tell me that tomorrow they will see me again.
|
9 |
|
The friendly smiles given to customers is no longer mine
|
10 |
|
For I am no longer just a customer,
|
11 |
|
But a regular.
|
12 |
|
|
|
|
I am like Sam,
|
13 |
|
Commenting on people’s selections
|
14 |
|
And organizing sugar packets and bulletin fliers on my way out.
|
15 |
|
|
|
|
I am a Starbucks junkie.
|
16 |
|
Light whipped cream and extra caramel.
