Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Stepford Starbucks, the squeaky clean cafe near the Rancho Bernardo Inn where every day is "spectacular" and the baristas whistle while they work. I knew something was up as soon as I walked in the door. "Hi there ... what will it be?," asked a barista whose name, Stephanie, was neatly embroidered on her apron. "I'll have a Grande Half Caff," I said. "Spectacular," she replied. There were no super heroes wearing underpants on their head, no opera singers belting out disco favorites and no jittery nutcases throwing hot chocolate at passersby. Just a "Happy Housefrau" who hopped from table-to-table telling everyone to have a Spectacular Day while spraying everything down over and over with a bottle of window cleaner. I left before she could spray me down, too ...!

I even found the boys who worked at In-n-Out Burgers to be strangely happy. Must be a San Diego thing.
What?Nothing going on today?
Hi Marty!!!
I have missed you! Look at Ahhnold! LOL Even if you are in meetings I am so jealous that you are at Rancho Bernardo Inn!
Thanks for the welcome, I am glad to be back!
be well,
Dawn
It must be boring at times being a barista, especially if you like to move around.
Next sighting, I expect Mr. Clean :o)
What a SPECTACULAR entry!! You have a spectacular day, now, ok?!
What was in the window cleaner? No one is that happy. At least not to my knowledge. (Hugs)Indigo
