Old but favorite

Abercrombie & Fitch

A few years back I had a bad experience in an Abercrombie & Fitch back in Massachusetts. I'm sure everyone has had a bad experience in that store but this particular experience has stuck with me throughout the years.
I was looking for a job at the time and decided to give Abercrombie a go. Why not right? I liked their clothes.
I walked in and approached the boy at the register who was super sweet and showed me where to apply. After my application was done I asked the same boy if I could speak with a manager about scheduling an interview.
"Sure!" He said and I followed him over to a brown haired  girl who was busy putting clothes away.
"There's a girl here who wants to ask about an interview" he told her.
"Oh okay!" She said and stood up.
When she turned to look at me the look of disgust on her face was so horrible I felt like I was some piece of dog shit that she had just stepped on.
"Tell her we're not hiring!" She snapped and returned to her work. The boy came over to me looking sorry.
" I heard her" I told him "Thank you though your really nice."

At the time I was a little heavier than I am now which is why I assume she was so disgusted by me.
(Cause you know, girls with actual woman curves are so horribly disgusting how dare I even think it was okay to enter her skinny only store.)
Anyway, the experience has stuck with me throughout the years and still leaves me with this horribly angry and bitter feeling whenever I think about it.
I understand that they have a specific look that they have to match when hiring new employees but its completely inexcusable to treat anyone that way just because they don't fit your idea of beauty.

The siren is calling

And who can resist her call when she does?
I sure can't.

I was always a Dunkin Donuts girl. Pfft Starbucks I thought who's going to pay $5 for a cup of coffee?
Then I moved to California where there is a Starbucks on every corner and the closest Dunkin Donuts is in Nevada.
For a year I avoided it always stopping in a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf or a Petes Coffee and Tea instead. Eventually I moved to an area where there was ONLY Starbucks and so finally I gave in to the Sirens call.

Now, I have a registered Starbucks card and have reached Gold level membership. Which means I drank a lot of coffee.
The other day I was sipping my daily Starbucks before work and found myself staring at the iconic Starbucks symbol.
Who is this girl? I thought to myself. What does it mean?

Did you know that the girl on our Starbucks coffee cup is a Mermaid? A Mermaid! A siren of the sea. Those mythical creatures that lured sailors to their watery doom.
Fitting, without the watery doom part.

In 1971 when Starbucks was still new they were searching for the perfect icon to capture the seafaring of coffee and Seattle's seaport roots. Finally, they came across the image of a 16th century Norse woodcut of a twin-tailed mermaid.
It must have been love at first sight otherwise she wouldn't still be around! Changed yes but still the same mermaid she was when they spotted her in 1971.

There's something about the knowledge that my favorite coffee is represented by a Mermaid that makes it a little more special.

The most amazing moment of my week

Was when I walked into a Starbucks desperate for some caffeine before my morning shift.
I looked up half awake at the menu and there it was

Mocha Coconut Frappucino

It's back! Oh happy day!
