Say It Ain't True, Caribou!

This letter is to my local Caribou Coffee. I'm so upset, it made me use incorrect grammar in the post title.

Dear Caribou Coffee Lady,
We have become such good friends. I really like you. You seem like a nice young girl, and you didn't take exception to my mom telling you that any sort of facial piercings are not appropriate in any work environment. You make her lattes to the exact temp of 180 degrees. You mix my two packets of sugar in the hubby's esspresso. You have become my little piece of heaven in this drab town called Toledo. You saved me from my addiction of fountain drinks. You gave me an alternative, a beautiful alternative. The green tea mango smoothie. Yes, it does have lots of calories and sugar, but it is my little pick me up when I realize that I will be here for a while.
Today, I hurried through the drive-thru to order and there you were at the window with your usual smile on your face. Ouch! Doesn't that lip ring hurt when you smile? I digress.... You told me that my drinks would be a dollar off for the next few weeks. I think I just heard angels singing. As I handed over the last of the hubby's b-day gift card(I'm awful, I know) I knew there must be a catch. But why, I questioned...because we only have two more containers of the green tea and since it is a seasonal item, we will no longer be carrying it." Uhhhh...what did she just say? I could feel my throat begin to tighten and a cold sweat come over my body as I questioned her again. She told me we could find an alternative, perhaps on of their seasonal coffees. Ick, bleck, yuck...I hate coffee unless it has flavor that resembles vanilla, hazelnut and soy. So, as I pulled away from the window, on my way to Prayer For The Election and Bible Study, I couldn't help but say a little prayer for myself. I'll miss you green tea mango. Here's to pomegranate!
