As of right now, this minute, one of my pet peeves is driving to a particular store to get ONE thing and then they are out of that one thing. Now, granted, in the overall scheme of things, it doesn’t matter a hill of beans. Especially considering it wasn’t something I needed, I just wanted. But, still, it peeves me.
Since it’s fall and I didn’t try one last year, I decided to drive to Target and go in and try the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. Just a little splurge, to spend more money than I should on a coffee, and enjoy it while I browse around Target, and look at all of their seasonal stuff. I go in, stand in line and then order it, only to have 2 girls look at me with very dumb expressions and both of them say “we’re out of that”. What do you mean, “you’re out of that”? Aren’t you a coffee establishment and isn’t this what is promoted on your menu and billboard above the counter? Argh, a wasted trip. On the bright side, the thing must be good (if “they’re out of that”), and maybe I will make another effort to drive to a Target or Starbucks to try it before it’s gone and a new seasonal or holiday one is out.
The good news it that the library was NOT out of books. Or even the books I wanted. Some saving grace to my morning trip out.
