Starbucks Stumble

Boo-urns, Starbucks. Boo-urns. As I've mentioned, the only drink I get at Starbucks is a vanilla soy earl grey tea misto. Today I ordered it and it came to almost a dollar more than when I had it on Friday. "WHAT IS UP?", I delicately inquired. The supervisor swooped in and explained that they are replacing all their teabags with loose tea, so there are no more tea mistos, just more expensive tea lattes, and regular tea prices are also going up. Maybe cashier-with-the-same-glasses-as-me should have explained that before she rung me up, huh? I already find Starbucks to be particularly special in that the quality of their service and hot drinks are consistently hit-and-miss. This enforced drink change has put me over the edge. I hereby vow to no longer purchase hot drinks from Starbucks. (Um, I still think their ice tea and smoothies are pretty good, okay?) I am really awesome at keeping my vows, so watch out!
