A nice cup of coffee

Yesterday I’m scouting a location for one of my photography clients and turn into the local Starbucks to grab a mocha (extra shot). I get my cup of joe and go back to my car to drive back home.

Soon after drinking the first few sips, I’m thinking that something doesn’t taste quite right. At first I attribute it to the heat of the beverage, but as I am diving along I realize that this is not a good cup of coffee. In fact, I feel that it is so bad that I turn around to drive back to the store, look for a parking space and go back inside, letting the manager know that this drink is the ‘worst coffee I have ever had.’

So far so good. All I really want to do is let them know that I am not happy. I don’t expect anything in return, I don’t ask for anything – just the statement of fact – pure and simple.
