Remember these? "The Way I See It's"? Well, these numbered quotes are one of my initial reasons for becoming a Starbucks consumer in the first place (before this time I was a Tim's-ONLY gal). Perhaps its silly to choose a coffee based on the inspiration attached to it, but nonetheless, I LOVED the added "joy" that came with the end of a Starbucks experience. I promised myself that I wouldn't look under the cardboard "this is too hot to hold" sleeve until I had finished my beverage and, at this point, my day's (or week's) words of wisdom would be revealed! They didn't always apply to me and I couldn't always relate to them, but I knew they applied and related to SOMEBODY and I knew that my words would come with the next cup. It was especially exciting when you were having a coffee date with your girlfriends, and each of you received a different quote! Sharing them was a special wrap-up that left everyone going home happy.
Well, where did they go? They were not in Egypt, they are not in Kuwait, and they were not in any Canadian or American cities I visited this summer! So - where did they go?! I can't imagine a complaint led to their demise. After all, words of encouragement on a paper cup are much easier to avoid than advice given in person. If you don't like what the cup has to say, you can simply toss it. Right? What gives? And how can we bring them back?
I miss my coffee time encouragement!
