Taste the Anger

Day two of the conference. We've learned a thing or two - namely about Starbucks. It seems the 'bucks here all run independently. They don't take (or sell) Starbucks giftcards, nor do they have any across the board standards when it comes to coffee quality, creation or pricing. I have to admit, it's almost fun seeing the wild variation from location to location.

This isn't to say the coffee hasn't been good. To be fair, most of it has been the usual good Starbucks product. But today we found the renegade location. Tucked away deep in the bowels of the Las Vegas Convention Center is what we've dubbed the angriest Starbucks location in the US. Our coffee was so bitter we decided we can taste the anger (it explains the bitterness) in our respective cappuccinos and lattes. Sadly, we may actually have to return to this location a bit later, as there is no other food source to speak of in the convention center.

But not to worry, they've got plenty of Splenda. It may be angry and bitter, but it'll be sweet, angry and bitter. Just the way I like it.
