Redwood City Starbucks

Friday morning, The Queen and I had Starbucks in Redwood City. The first Starbucks we went to was at 490 El Camino Real. After ordering our Chai's, I notice this cool display that shows Venti, Grande and Tall cups. I thought it would be cool to take a picture of the Queen in front of the display. Now, normally I would have just told her to go stand by it and I would take the picture but it was crowded with customers so I asked the Barista if I could move the display. (Epiphany: NEVER ask, JUST do) The Starbucks Barista announced "We do not allow cameras inside Starbucks" WHAT???? I look at the Queen, she looks at me, I ask "Are you serious?", He says "Yes, we do not allow pictures to be taken inside Starbucks". WHATEVER..... Do you have any idea how many photos I have taken inside Starbucks?

The Queen and I decide that we must have this picture so we pull up the GPS. Note Reference #1 below-4 Starbucks located within a mile.

Queen B and I head to the Starbucks at 1045 El Camino Real. Sadly, this Starbucks does not have the display that I have now seen at EVERY other Starbucks including the Starbucks at the San Jose airport. In lieu of the display we decide to take Reference #2 picture below. Queen B, models the 3 Starbucks drink sizes.

After we get took this lovely photo of the Queen we decide that we have to have a photo inside the original Starbucks so we go back to the Starbucks (Queen B's car was there anyway) at 490 El Camino Real. (BTW: The GPS says El Camino Real with a very funny accent) Once at this Starbucks, we strategically position the Queen and take the last of our pictures. Note the display sitting on the counter by the woman paying for her drink in Reference #3.

I still need to write a letter to Starbucks inquiring on their company policy on having a Venti, Grande, Tall display in every store. I am pretty sure the store at 1045 El Camino Real has one, it's just sitting in their storage room. I just cannot imagine that every store is not required to have on. It probably became a huge hassle for them, with all of the people trying to get their picture taken by it.

Wow... I can't believe you were able to write all that... and it's really about nothing. Good Job Kim! Really... you and QB have way too much time on your hands. LOL

I live by the "don't ask just do" rule! You get much better results almost every time. And when you don't, there's usually a fun, "well, that's how I almost spent a night in jail" story in the end. Bonus all around!
