A lot of stores were closed yesterday morning since there was a horrible blizzard happening, but not my Starbucks. We opened at 5:30 a.m. when the rest of the world was cozy in bed, happy to have an excuse not to go outside.
I thought no one would come in for coffee. I thought we were crazy for being open. Why would anyone risk their life for a cup of coffee?
Oh, but they did. They did and they did it well. Not only did the regular customers show up, they came bearing Valentine's Day gifts! I pretended to be happy to see them, but inside I was wondering just how far a caffeine addiction will push someone.
One of our regular customers said he shoveled a quarter mile of driveway piled with feet of snow just to get out for his venti vanilla cappuccino. A twisted part of me was impressed.
What would you shovel a quarter mile of two feet high snow for?
