Dear Starbucks...

Life. Don't talk to me about life.

IF you are going stand up and say to the world "I will charge $2.85 for a cup of coffee" (coffee which, realistically, costs you all of about $0.15 to make), you could at least:

  1. Ensure that your PAY FOR wireless service is actually functioning, or let your patrons know that it's broken LONG before they spend 10 minutes rebooting, fiddling and tinkering trying to get connected.
  2. Make sure that the tables you oh so thoughtfully provide actually have 4 feet on them!. I mean, there might actually be people in your establishment that have laptops, and coffee. I would imagine making sure the tables don't immediately dump coffee onto the laptops would not be a challenge, but apparently I was mistaken.

No lasting damage to clipper, but the entire experience left me reconsider my continuing support of this these guys.

Just "reconsidering?" Wow. Low standards, much? :)
