Actually No

[exhilaration]

Today I was told by a customer that Starbucks actually owns the coffee shop I work in and that it just doesn't have the Starbucks name on it because the city won't allow a Starbucks because it wants to preserve it's image or something.

This is the same person who ordered in Starbucks-ian instead of, you know, off OUR menu, and I was like, "haha, that's Starbucks, we have x, y, and z here, which would you prefer?"

So, for the record, actually no, Starbucks does not secretly own my workplace. I know this because I WORK THERE.

Starbucks owns my soul. Sadly.

But there's no Starbucks in Hungary so I only go there when I'm abroad.

Where is the closest Starbucks to you? I was in Greece a few years ago and saw a Starbucks in Athens - years before that I was in the UK and saw no Starbucks but I am pretty sure they are there now.

Vienna, maybe. Or Prague.
