Spilling The Beans

I was in Starbucks line the other day standing next to a man in hospital scrubs. The line was long so I started to dissect him. He was probably 6 ft tall, no wedding ring, on the younger side and pretty good looking. That is what I thought until he ordered a Vanilla Latte and a donut. I couldn't help but judge him by his order. I began to wonder, can you judge someone by their coffee order? This summer I interned in a corporate office setting. Every morning I would get a cup of coffee and put 2 sugar packets and creamer in my cup. I was pinned as an intern just by what I drank. The people who I sat around drank their coffee black and I aspired to do so to fit in. Black coffee signifies that you're an experienced coffee drinker as well as experienced in the work field. I tried so hard to drink black coffee but I don't think I will be able to drink it in the near future. Maybe when the work world steals my soul I will drink it. But until then I will ordered my Pumpkin Spice Latte ( in a mug of course) and breakfast burrito and hoped to be judged as festive and fun!
