Serious About Coffee

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Bryan and I are walking over to Starbucks for our morning ritual, and notice a bunch of people standing around outside the building.

“A line all the way outside?  That’s not good”

<rattle>

The door is locked, and now that we pay attention, we notice the flashing light inside, and the tinny buzz of a fire alarm inside.

Oh well.

But here’s the rub.

The drive-thru was still open.

Everyone in the building had to evacuate, but continuing to serve coffee was more important than the lives of mere baristas.

That’s dedication.

In all fairness, there probably wasn’t an actual fire in the building.
