Starbucks: Refilled.

Starbucks has a newish slogan; "Take Comfort in Rituals."  Rather than be abstractly annoyed at them, I realized I already was - my ritual is not paying full price for coffee.

Secret .50c coffee

Just bring your own cup to Starbucks.  Order a refill.  Your coffee will be fifty cents.

There.

I just saved you hundreds of dollars a year.

Send them to me?

My paypal email is philvanhest@yahoo.com

Ah, the rituals of commerce.

Also, the above-mentioned company has started selling something it calls "Micro-grounds."

To the uninitiated, that is "Instant Coffee."

Nice try though.

I am torn between a snide remark about Phil's alienation of all people whom circumstances force to work at Starbucks -- people who HATE the free refill thieves -- and abject pity for anyone who thinks Starbucks serves COFFEE.  Burro Poop Tea is more like it.
