Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Narrative

Long Line Ups At Starbucks

To order a coffee of your choice
At the Starbucks coffee shop
There is one line up to order
The coffee of your choice
Then there is a second line
To receive the coffee you chose
Waiting for your coffee choice
Seems to take some time
While the severs do things

Before they do the ones
That made their orders
Now waiting their turns
Meanwhile the line up grows
Longer while severs do pick ups
Orders at the drive by window
After the orders are done
Go to customers waiting to pay
Thensip thier coffee of their choice

Ann Foster March 17, 2022 at 2:10 PM I love coffee poems... Well written... Have a truly blessed day. Ann Darlene De Beaulieu March 17, 2022 at 3:58 PM Hello Ann Foster, I love my coffee. I seldom go to Starbucks. I like my coffee black no sugar. I find they put too much sugar in their coffee. When I go there I have an ice tea. Hugs.

Lindsay Laurie February 5, 2022 at 5:48 PM Hello Darlene ... these fast food and drink outlets have changed our way of life. Some now rely entirely on them. I don't know if Starbucks are here in Australia or not - thank you Darlene - Lindsay Darlene De Beaulieu February 6, 2022 at 11:38 AM while the people inside are waiting as this line gets larger. i find this frustrating. So i do not go there too often. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu February 6, 2022 at 11:36 AM Hello Laurie, At Starbuks a person can order their coffee inside. Then line up again to pay and get teirr order. There is also a lime up of cars ordering their order. So the people that are waiting insdie to pick up their order have to wait their turn

Anil Deo February 3, 2022 at 5:54 AM After 7 mi utes wait, coffee should be free. We buy coffee to get moving ... Not slowing down. Worse, sitting in a line / queue. Thx for reading my electricity woes in South Africa Darlene. God bless u Darlene De Beaulieu February 3, 2022 at 10:42 AM Hello Anil, the coffee is never free no matter how long a person waits. People go inside to order their coffee Then there is another line to wait for your coffee. Because the drive through is being served. So the people waiting inside is waiting for their orders so there is a delay. God Bless you. Darlene

Plabi Pradhan January 30, 2022 at 7:49 PM I feel restless while waiting at a cafe or restaurant. Haha.. how are you Darlene ma'am?

Jennifer Proxenos January 30, 2022 at 1:29 PM I think Starbucks is the place to be seen especially for people working in the city. It feels as if the socialites frequent Starbucks. We have a Starbucks about two kilometre away but for a coffee and a piece of cake each you pay 8 dollars.. Interesting information and so true they are so very busy. Not my fav place to go Hugs and blessings my dear Darlenr. Jennifer Darlene De Beaulieu January 30, 2022 at 3:36 PM Hello Jennifer, they pay $8.00forcake and coffee! Wow! I really do not care for the Starbucks. In the summer I have an ice coffee ther but not often. Blessings my dear Darlenefriend.

Hugs Eve Darlene De Beaulieu January 27, 2022 at 10:22 AM Hello Eve, Eve I drink black coffee at home. That is how i like my coffee. I drink expresso black to without sugar. Hugs.

Marilene Evans January 27, 2022 at 7:47 AM You're so right, Darlene. My daughter, Missy, managed one of the Starbucks for years. Now, she does not even go there. She goes to Peets. Darlene De Beaulieu January 28, 2022 at 6:16 AM Hello Marilene, i donor blame her. When my brother-in-law and my sister go to Stabucks if I am with them I do not order anything. Because ihave to go inside to order Because I do not own a cell phone, and ther is a long kine to order a coffee. Hugs.

Sotto Poet January 27, 2022 at 6:34 AM There may be a lot of queuing, although it will be worthwhile for coffee enthusiasts. Very well written, Darlene. Darlene De Beaulieu January 28, 2022 at 6:18 AM Hello Lasaad, Yes for some it is worth it. Because they do not mind the long line up. Thank you Lassad. Enjoy your day my friend.

Bill Baker January 26, 2022 at 11:14 PM Lots of waiting, but for coffee lovers, worth the wait. Well written, Darlene. Hugs, Bill Darlene De Beaulieu January 27, 2022 at 6:01 AM Hello Bill, Waiting to order your coffee in a line up is bad enough. Then the severs go to the window to serve the people in cars. Forgetting the people that stood in line to get their orders . so it is another waiting line filled with emotions Your poetess friend Darlene Darlene De Beaulieu January 27, 2022 at 6:01 AM Hugs.
