This sign is pretty deceiving. It isn't located outside of Conestoga or Pioneer Suites, not even in the lobby of West Penn. In fact, I'm sure those of you who visit the 2nd floor of Thayer Hall often, are quite aware that this sign hangs right about that weird bar seating that is placed right outside the nurse's office. It's kind of funny because unless the nurse's are undercover coffee brewers, I kind of think this sign is out of place. Point Park does allow flex to be used with the Starbucks next to the suites and across from West Penn, but everyone already knows this--they don't need an out of place sign that says, "We proudly brew Starbucks Coffee." Well, because they're not. Unless they sold it in the Cafe. Which they don't, but I think they should. Don't you agree? Actually, I'm not sure if anyone feels this way about the cappuccinos or lattes sold in the Cafe, but their caramel macchiatos taste like this:
or sometimes this:
and nothing like this:
Although, sometimes the drinks do look delicious, they taste just the opposite. I probably try a different one at least once a month in hope that they will improve. They still have yet to improve, much like time it takes to make a grilled cheese. (15 minutes, I'm sure you know) Anyone else feel this way?
I am going to give you a little "compliment sandwich" right now.
ReplyDeletePositive: I love your enthusiasm about coffee.
Negative: What's your beef with Torani syrups? Some cafes in Boston use them and I like them just fine.
Negative: "Well, because their not" - what's up Point Park Journalism
Positive: That quiz was pretty accurate as to fitting personality to preference of coffee. Also, even though its 12:20am your blog made me really wish I wasn't out of creamer in my apartment.
PS Sorry the compliment sandwich had a double patty.
Torani syrups are great, but not when the entire drink tastes like them. I'd like to taste more coffee than syrup. I fixed the spelling error, sorry--sometimes I write early in the morning.

Oh Ash, you have all kinds of grammar errors and mishaps I've noticed. C'mon, future journalist, you can do better than that! (:
ReplyDeleteAlso, you silly goober, that sign is there because we didn't always have Conestoga Starbucks, we only had a little bar right where that sign hangs that sold starbucks drinkies.
love, karrrrr!
(i'm sure you knew it was me once i used the term "silly goober") (:
