Last week of no internet! I’m sitting in a Starbucks across from my house right now – we’ve frequented this location multiple times over the past week to hook up. This included a VERY early morning trip at 5am on Tuesday for what I thought was the best daily deal Starbucks has on offer. Last year, they sold a special reusable coffee mug which allowed you to get free coffee when you used the mug all through January. We missed out last year because they flew off the shelves! Sadly, the deal was only available in the US this year – damn you Starbucks Canada! I want those three hours of sleep back!
In their defense, I did ask at a Starbucks the day before if it was happening and they said yes, referring me to a list of the full daily deals. If I had actually taken the time to look closely, I would have seen that the tumbler only came with a bag of coffee! Stupid Brian…
Like everyone at this time of year, we’ve got a busy weekend of Dim Sum, IKEA, James Bond and holiday parties on the schedule. This is why I’m in a Starbucks at 7:30am on a Saturday!
