Supermarket
You know, i am still impressed with my last visit to the supermarket. I know it may sound pretty drab but i am. The new self service check outs are awesome. Has anybody else used them. You just scan your own stuff and put them in a bag. You weigh your own fruits and veges and even find the correct button to press. You can then either pay by EFTPOS, cash or credit card and the machine even spits you out a receipt. As i said in my previous post, there is even a hot security/check out boy hovering around to give you a helping hand.
When i was last in the USA i saw that some supermarkets have a starbucks in them! That is such an awesome idea. Supermarket shopping is not my thing really but if i could shop drinking a starbucks then i would be up for it. Starbucks hasnt invaded our supermarkets yet but i reckon it will get there.
That brings me on to Starbucks....Are they really invading our cities. We have a couple here in the city but we havent had an invasion yet. The one thing i like about them is that their coffees are American sizes ie. XXXL while most coffees in our coffee shops are a hell of a lot smaller......God bless America!

Are you familiar with the comedian Lewis Black? He has a routine in which he plays of the ubiquity of Starbucks. He tells of an old man with Alzheimers who exits one Starbucks only to immediately see another and wants some coffee. He declares it to be the end of the universe (where Starbucks meets Starbucks). There everywhere! There everywhere!
Have a great weekend down there!
Self checkout and Starbucks... the only thing that would be better is if the guys working both were naked!
I don't like Starbucks coffee. I like their lattes and big drinks, but the plain coffee, no. I really like Dunkin' Donuts coffee the best. I often even buy that by the pound and make it at home. I love a good cup of coffee.
Be careful! This is how we invade. First its with insidious things-- like Starbucks and McDonalds. Once we get you into the 'bigger is better' mindset, then we start getting you to gain weight.
From there its just a short hop to getting you to willingly help us kill Iraqi civilians in the name of freedom.
Oh, and we have GOT to work on your idea of a hamburger. What's the deal with putting a fried egg on it??
