We're gonna need a bigger Starbucks.
Edited on Tue Sep-18-07 08:28 AM by seawolf
I'm sitting in my university's main Starbucks branch...and it's fucking packed with people gearing up for their 9:30 classes. There's at least 30 people backlogged in line, probably closer to 40. And it's been staying that way for the past 10 minutes. As soon as one person is served, someone else gets in line.

Total Starbucks staff: 6, and two registers.

And it's like this all the time.

Sheesh, you'd think the University would expand the damned thing already! Better than wasting money on concerts for the non-academic frats like it has for the past two years.

2. Isn't there a commuter lounge where you could buy some coffee for less?

3. Nope. Stuck on-campus because I couldn't find a roommate.
Found plenty of off-campus apartments, but no roommates I thought were trustworthy.

And yeah, I probably could get it cheaper if I was driving in from off-campus.

It blows.

4. I'm saying that my old campus always had a snack bar for commuters
who may have been a larger percentage of students than your school. Then there was the gym, which had a smaller snack/juice/coffee bar across the hall. I'm just surprised to hear there's only one option for coffee.
