    For folks not believing: I have totally done shit like this. At a state fair and my fiancé didn’t want to ride the ferris wheel. I overheard another couple who was having the same conversation so I ran over to the guy and asked him if he’d ride the ferris wheel with me. He said yes, we held hands and skipped down the road to get in line. Had a great time and took selfies together to send back to our partners.

      I wouldn’t, because Starbucks. There’s 100% a superior hipster/indie/whatever appropriate gender coffee shop within 2-3 blocks. Very possibly right next door. Why are you okay with burnt espresso?

        They cover the burnt flavour with a quart of sugar, syrups, and creams so you don’t even taste the coffee- Oh, wait second…

        No, at $4500 a cup, I’m sure it’s the best.

          It’s actually kinda the other way around. My uncle lived in Seattle for years, and he told me he ran into some Starbucks executive once. He asked about the burnt coffee, and they told him it was intentional so you could still taste “coffee” through all the sugar, syrups, and creams.
