teenbucks – now invading your local coffee house
Eeewee. OK, I realize one day I will have my own gawky one to contend with, how about for the moment let's keep them away at least at a 2-mile radius? What's the coffee house coming to? Now marketing to the nearest teen that will be all a-flutter about their latest adolescent crush, or how nobody understands them because they've hit 13, and if it wasn't for this delicious double mocha latte I'd go and kill myself, all in hyper-drive, on a caffeinated rush. Make that a double espresso shot EEEEWWWEEE. I'm not big on Starbucks coffee – personally, I think it's a horrible burnt-roast taste. I, however, am partial to the green tea frappucino, although I wish it was less syrupy and soy-based. Well, maybe I just like to read while I'm there and not really drink their drinks too much. There's always something to complain about because their menu isn't tailored for my tastes specifically. I guess I could go sit somewhere else then, but what if the trend catches on and every coffee house in the district is going to be overrun with caffeine-intoxicated kids, what then??? Don't get me wrong, I'm going to try my bestest ever to have a good relationship with my own someday-teen. I have scenarios in my brain that we'll be able to talk decently, I'll let him do his thing, I'll do mine. He won't have to be seen around town with me because I know I'll be embarassing someday, hopefully not too much, but isn't that the point? Teens go HERE, adults go THERE. Do not mix. Volatile and flammable if shaken together. You know what, give them their own Teenbucks. That way, you can drop them off at the corner, they learn about the café lifestyle, discuss the virtues ofStory here.
