Earlier today, I was rushing to get to my Photo History class, and had maybe two minutes to spare. I was still feeling laggy from staying up late playing TSO (oops) and getting some pretty poor sleep last night due to a certain someone with a knack for loud breathing passages. rxnorth.com
I was desperate. I needed caffeine.
I hit the drive-through Starbucks. It's been about two months since I weakened under the same pressure.
It was unsettling, but I pressed on. I looked on the floor of the passenger side of the car, and saw a loose Peet's sleeve lying there, unused and lonely. I slipped it around the hot cup o' mocha and was off to class. There I was, trying to pass off a cup of Starbucks as a Peet's cup. How sad was I?
Forgive me, o Peet's of my heart.
A "Starbucks" in ""Peets" clothing!

transmitted by Lance on January 28, 2003 07:08 PMi bring my Peet's cup in to the Starbucks in my building when i need a second cup in the morning. they make fun of me, but it makes me feel like less of a traitor. i'm with ya, sister.
transmitted by Eric on January 28, 2003 07:42 PMi don't get the fascination with peets
in NY, starbucks is a pretty cool hangout. i often meet friends in one because they're plentiful and have nice seating.

transmitted by courtney on January 29, 2003 11:56 AM:sigh: there is no peet's in NY, is there jack? I must argee tho, it is a very popular hangout, Starbucks, that is.
Yum, I can go for a cup right now.
Now if somebody is willing to send me some Peets coffee somehow so I can experience the taste of it I am more then willing to receive the package :)
