As I have previously discusses in other post, I am not a fan of corporate America. I don't know If it is my generation's obsession with Indy films, organic foods, and corner coffee houses or my secret ambitions to be an 80's rock star, but I have previously made a committment to myself to never let "The Man" get to me. But as all heroes, zealots, and stubornly cynical people do, I too have a weakness...delicious blended coffee drinks from Starbucks.
Starbucks has become a treat for my wife and I to share with each other when we feel a blended coffee drink is deserved (several times weekly). Tonight after church was such a deserving occasion but tonight we added another item to our purchase...the Starbucks Gold Card.
The card offers a 10% discount on any purchase from a Statbucks store. So now, instead of sticking it to "The Man," I have sold out for 10% off. Sometimes I disgust myself. I think since I have worked so hard disgusting myself I deserve a blended coffee drink.
