I reluctantly came to terms with my Starbucks habit when I earned my âfree drink for every twelve purchasesâ twice in one week. But honestly, I think my obsession might have been brewing for a while. Here are the 12 signs of a Starbucks addiction.
1. You often visit Starbucks more than once per day (but at different store locations, of course, to avoid being known as âthat customer.â)
2. If the baristas donât know you by name, they know what drink you always order and are thrown off when you order a different beverage.
3. Road trips (actually, any trips at all) are incomplete
without a list of all Starbucks locations along your route.
4. You have made enough purchases in your lifetime to earn a Starbucks Gold Rewards Card. Enough said.
5. You are overly excited when going to a Starbucks in a
different town because their tax code saved you 3 cents off your $4 iced coffee.
6. Your car has become a rolling repository of white straw wrappers, empty iced latte cups, and crinkled Starbucks receipts.
7. On more than one occasion, you have pieced together a meal from Starbucks food to save time on lunch break because it would be worse to skip Starbucks and get a real lunch instead (a banana and some organic coconut chipsâŚwhat more could you wantâŚ).
8. You sometimes refer to the store as âStarbsâ or âBux.â
9. You know the baristas well enough to know when they change store locations. âSo, you know the employee with the blonde hair who never shakes the iced tea well enough?â I asked one of my friends who shares in my Starbucks servitude. âHeâs at that new Starbucks on the east side of town now.â Iâm not sure if I was comforted or horrified when my friend suggested that this was common knowledge.
10. Youâve been on a date with at least one Starbucks employeeâŚ
11. Your personal style seems incomplete without the ultimate accessory: a Starbucks drink.
12. As you write this list, you have a Venti green iced tea in hand and no regrets.
