They're Everywhere!

Last night while we were visiting my Uncle in the hospital, my attention was drawn to a familiar voice outside in the hall. I heard 2 women talking and heading down the hall toward us and I knew right away who they were. As they got to the front of the door and started to pass by, I yelled out to them. They stopped and leaned back into the doorway to see who the heck was yelling. It was C & D (names excluded on purpose) from my favorite Starbuck's.

This might not seem like a big deal, but the hospital is about 40 miles from home. Also, they were there to visit the guy in the room right next to my Uncle.

They came in and visited for a few minutes and I introduced them to my Uncle as the best coffee-makers in the city. Then I made a joke about them doing deliveries and C laughed, held up the bag she was carrying and showed me that she was doing just that. Delivering Starbuck's stuff to the guy next door.

Not only were they making a delivery to a friend, but he was a friend only because he was a regular visitor to their Starbuck's and they just came by to help boost his spirits. Now, how cool is that?

You do not find good people and good service like that anywhere anymore.

Maybe tonight they will visit again and bring me a Double Shot. That would be sweet!
