my sister texted me that her economic measure is the length of the lines in starbucks.
I sent her three photos
1) in fact there was no line at starbucks
2) screenshot of my mobile order
3) Doordash guy walking out of the starbucks with 4 orders
Who the hell waits in line in starbucks? Also: who is so lazy they doordash starbucks? I mean, I feel like a dope smoker when I'm at Starbucks working on my laptop and mobile order from my phone instead of walking up to the counter, but seriously, you are getting a $5 latte delivered to you, and probably paying $5 for the privilege?
I walk the dog to starbucks in the AM, and my measure is how far I have to be when I order for the coffee to be ready when I get there. The radius is expanding.
On another note, showing how much of an old fart I am, we went to Imagine Dragons last week, at Shoreline. Sort of like Alpine Valley in Wisconsin, huge venue with a big GA lawn. I figured we'd just get tickets day of, but research showed that the show was sold out! I never figured out what face was but we paid like $110 to sit way out on the lawn and mostly watch the show on the screens. I did recognize a lot of their stuff, probably mostly from being in grocery stores or backing TV commercials during football games, and research showed that they are, in fact a lot bigger than I thought they were.
I'm not really a fan of big arena rock, but I have to say they put on a hell of a show. Kids loved it. But yeah, they are packing em in for big bucks in this shitty economy.
