Second cup of coffee hour arrives. Taking the bait on my Starbucks app, I place an order for a BOGO offer: one iced flat white for my friend, and a cinnamon caramel cream cold brew, light on the caramel, for me.
I place my order.
This location is not accepting orders.
Okay, fine. I’ll choose another location.
I arrive and for some odd reason, one side of the driveway is blocked. I head toward the drive through only there aren’t many cars in line. Correction: There aren’t any cars in line. There’s a sign on a cute blackboard, written in chalk markers, telling me the location is being remodeled and will re-open March 10th.
I pull into a parking spot to check my order. Where did it go? Did it even go through? Wi-fi is spotty at work. I completely ignored the construction around me. Around here, it’s normal.
Off to a third location. I did not plan on this taking so long. I’m hoping it’s there. The barista brings my order and all is well. Not to self: don’t order anything while distracted.
While waiting for our staff meeting to start this afternoon, I decide I’m not in the mood for cooking dinner after my kiddo pings me to ask what we’re having.
I open up my pizza app…

Oh, the lengths we go to for convenience! I’ve had this happen, and it’s a whole logistical sequence trying to figure out which location to hit and how exactly to place an order.
Glad you were able to finally get what you needed. Sounds like the caffeine was even MORE necessary after all of this!
And now…PIZZA. =)
