@kdfrawg the barista even admitted it was silly, but "company policy" she said.
@kdfrawg funny story that happened this week.
I went to a Starbucks that was in a mall in the Atlanta area that was attached to a major department store that happens to be a Check Point customer. I ordered my typical 4 shots of espresso and I also ordered a venti ice water. They charged me $0.25 for the ice water (something a normal Starbucks doesn't do).
While waiting, I noticed they hadn't filled up the water yet and asked if they could instead fill up my aluminum container instead. They told me "had you asked for that to begin with, we wouldn't have charged you $0.25".
My response: They can have the $0.25 with my compliments.
@kdfrawg I'm surprised I walked out of there without being in a meat coma. I guess I'm keeping my gluttony in check or something.

@kdfrawg it hasn't stopped me so far, but I figure I should reward companies that offer a service at a reasonable price with my custom.
@larand looks tasty. I had similarly good meat at Fogo De Chao earlier this week.

Someone on Reddit showed me that yes, I could actually get NBA Audio Pass for $9.99 still. It's just hidden. ??
@larand considering I've been drinking mostly espresso shots and black coffee lately, it was time to treat myself. It may be my meal for today, we'll see.
Been a couple weeks since I’ve been into the local Starbucks. Used one of my two free drinks on this caffeine infusion ?
