The Starbucks Challenge: South Weymouth, MA store # 07374 redeemed!
I am a firm believer in the idea that ones retractions should be as loud as one's mistakes, so I've created a new thread topic.

See prior thread:

Same Starbucks as the other day.

There was a different lady working than the day before, though.

Here's today's narrative:

1) Asked for Fair Trade coffee. It wasn't available.
2) Before I could ask specifically for a coffee press cup, the nice lady did me one better.
3) They're demonstrating a new coffee machine they're selling, so she brewed a whole pot of the stuff for me with the new machine that they're using for free samples.

Kudos, Starbucks!

1. Wait, but what about the fair trade coffee? Wasn't that the orig. issue?
Did you get distracted by the nice lady and the new coffee machine? Heehee.

2. I think he's saying that she brewed him a whole pot of fair trade coffee
in the new machine.

4. For a sec, I thought he abandoned his cause for a cup of pressed joe.

3. Good! As much as some hate Starbucks they are one of the best
corporations, and if more followed suit we'd be in a better place today.

5. That's good news
You still need to go in once more, when the nice lady isn't working and see if "coffee press" will get it brewed for you.

But it's great that she brewed a whole pot for you on the new machine. :)
