Starbucks Maam

So as much I decide that I'm cutting down on Starbucks, I do wake up all groggy and have to get some to keep me up in the morning training class right now. So on my drive to work I stop off at the Mockingbird Starbucks off of 75. First of all did you all know that they increased the price again by $.05, again! I realized that 2 weeks ago. That's a whole $.10 in the last year (or year in a half if my memory serves me correctly).

So I go in and order my usual (you all know the drill). They had a new pastry, the orange creme coffee cake and they had samples. So of course me and my cinammon coffee cake kick, I decided to try the sample after I placed my order. Oh my! Luscious!!!! But of course I turn around and the line is too long to get back in for the cake. So I move around the corner and I say, "My that orange creme cake is just tooo good!" The elderly lady in front me of agreed. She said it's really good. She complimented on my clothes and said she loved the color of my top. Then as she got her drink, she says, "Have a good day MAAM!". I just stood there a little surprised. Never really had an elderly lady ever call me 'MAAM'. It was sort of weird hearing that! I'm sure some of you could relate to it or just imagine it.
