I think they have my lunch order memorized, so it ain’t just you.

You are right about Java Dave’s. I make a run in there a couple of times a week. I don’t even have to tell them what I want. They just hand me the cup when I come in. I guess that means I’m in a rut.

Java Dave’s on Will Rogers Blvd, dude–they’re locally owned (more locally than starbucks, certainly), have a much more laid back vibe, and don’t look at you like you’re a moron if you have the temerity to ask for a “large” instead of a “Venti” or whatever. Yeah, they have several blends of “just coffee” to choose from, but it’s recognizable as coffee, not an chemistry experiment run amuck.

I absolutely hate Starbucks. They are way overpriced and people are paying for the label. I don’t even know how to say what I want from the menu. I’ll just stick to Dunkin Donuts or fast food coffee. Just as good and definitely not as complicated!

I used to order a venti skinny vanilla latte when I went into Starbucks. It took me a while to sound like I knew what I’m talking about. When I went back on the wagon, I go in and order a plain black coffee. No problem. Three bucks. I buy Starbucks coffee beans at the store every week, and it is the best coffee I’ve had.

I know exactly how you feel. Makes you feel awkward just ordering. I loved this slice of life.
