This morning I went to a drive-thru Starbucks in a local suburb. I kind of pride myself on not being too suburban, but let’s face it I was at a drive-thru Starbucks!

As I pulled up I noticed an abnormal amount of Mercedees cars and SUV’s. I do not kid, there was one in nearly every parking spot, and even a few parallel parked along the curb.

I ordered my brew, drove through and asked, “What’s with all the Mercedees? You selling those now too?” I was pretty proud of the last part; the Barista was not amused. She rolled her eyes and told me there were about 30 women gathered inside; some kind of social club. “It’s funny. You really should come inside and see. A bunch of mom’s with long perfect blond hair,” she said rolling her eyes.

I would have, except there was nowhere to park. Much of the reason I like coffee shops is the smell. Coffee smells great! I bet it was impossible to smell the coffee in there this morning. “Excuse me what’s that brew you have percolating? Chanel No. 5?”
