Okay so I have to admit I am that type of person who spends hours on end each week either at Barnes and Noble or at Starbucks. It’s not like I’m not being productive, I mean I’m getting my homework done for the most part, until I get distracted by the books at Barnes and Noble. But thats a whole different topic. The point that I would like to make and may sound a little weird, but is something that truly bugs me, is that there is no trentas at Barnes and Noble. I know, contact the press, we have a first world problem on our hands.

So even though there is only a ten ounce difference between a venti and a trenta it is a big deal. Thats another fifteen minutes I could have before getting another refill. FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!! I could get a lot done in fifteen minutes whether it’s completing an assignment or finishing my chapter. Which brings me to another annoying thing about the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble...ohh sorry the “Barnes and Noble Cafe,” is that they don’t accept gift cards or your gold card from Starbucks. I mean how stupid is that!!! So every time I get a refill for my tea I have to pay another stupid fifty cents for it. I know fifty cents doesn’t sound like much, but since I come here a lot, I mean a lot, it adds up. A refill there another fifty cents there, trust me by that time I could have bought a vacation around the world. Okay maybe not that but something close to it. But since I am never going to have any control over this I guess I’m just going to have to deal with it. So here I am at Barnes and Noble, ironically, typing about how much the Barnes and Noble cafe irks me and I need another refill. So here goes another fifty cents towards a venti that gypps me out of another ten ounces of tea.
