Is it a bar? Is it a club? No, it's Starbucks.

I went into Starbucks this morning to order my regular drink. Next thing I know, the guy in front of me orders a drink that sounds like something made at a bar or dance club. He smoothly says, "I'll have a shot in the dark"..........I'm like, what in the world is a shot in the dark?

Apparently, it's a drip coffee with a shot of espresso. Wow, I learned something new today. It's amazing how a subculture of semantics can get started with simple coffee. I gotta hand it to those guys....Starbucks has accomplished something big.

I like it, I think I'll make this my new, regular drink at Starbucks. Venti brew, no room, black with a shot of espresso.
