Surrender


Dear Peet:

I give up.

I have given you so many chances to be more than just another cookie-cutter coffee chain, but I can't do it any more, I can't handle the constant disappointment.

So I surrender.

My standards are officially,

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssadly,

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllowered.

No longer yours,

Courtenay

Well...

I still have to go to Peet's. Except on weekends when I can go to Cole or Rooz in Oakland, but weekdays, it's Peet's. Sigh.

I have just lowered my expectations in an attempt at self-sanity-preservation. I will no longer be shocked or upset if they don't get simple things right :(

aren't there other coffe shops in Oaky/SF? I would think they'd be just swimming with little independent shops.

I've never been such a fan of peet's. True, it is worlds above Sbucks, but they're coffee is just a wee bit potent for my taste.
