Sbux and Costco KNOW me...

Ya know, is it odd that when walking into a Florida Starbucks I feel the need to stand on one of the cushy chairs and exclaim,

"I'm from WASHINGTON STATE!!!!"

and expect special treatment?

I think not.

It's like I feel I have just a bit of ownership of Starbucks from being a Washingtonian.





Add Costco to that list as well.

Yes, while we are stuck here in Orlando waiting for our flight (8 hours from now) I think I'll find a Costco to run into and exclaim,

"I'm from WASHINGTON STATE!!!"

And when I order my iced mocha I'm going to be watching the food service peeps and reading into their every move:

I think she gave me extra chocolate because I'm from WASHINGTON STATE.

I think she smiled longer at me because I'm from WASHINGTON STATE.

I think he put that clear plastic lid on extra carefully because I'm from WASHINGTON STATE.

Yup. It's gonna happen...

  1. Rats! Wish I'd known you would be hanging out at the Orlando airport for so long - you could have come to our house for lunch! Next time ;-) Hope the vacation was great!

  2. TOTALLY relate to the "I"M FROM WASHINGTON" syndrome. I get that feeling ALL the time when traveling around the country AND I do believe NO WHERE can make Starbucks the way they do in WA even IF they use the same recipes/same ingredients... it just doesn't taste the same!
