AIBU to be sat in Costa

DialsMavis · 19/12/2012 14:35

Drunking a coffee and eating a mince pie that neither my bank balance or gargantuan arse and thighs can afford?

But it's pissing down, I'm really early to collect from school and the 2 year old that WILL NOT NAP is fast asleep in her pushchair!

I'm not really hungry, thirsty or a fan of Costa.... But it's divine. (& they have WIFI)

YANBU.

Take a deep breath. In slowly. Out slowly. Relax. Enjoy.

CiderwithBuda · 19/12/2012 14:40

Oh well. Nice while it lasted eh?

Yanbu, Costa pay tax. Yabu if you'd chosen evil Starbucks Xmas Grin

Meggymoodle · 19/12/2012 14:41

Enjoy! You would have got totally different responses if you'd said Starbucks though, I bet!! I'm pretty Envy if truth be told. Mine are both causing mayhem at home.

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/12/2012 14:41

Yanbu. If it was Starbucks ywbu - awful coffee and awful cakes

Or the Black Forest hot chocolate - heaven!

twolittlemonkeys · 19/12/2012 14:48

YANBU at all. I talked myself out of doing that yesterday. And am now kicking myself because posters upthread have mentioned frosted mint hot chocolate and Black forest hot chocolate. Drool.

LondonElfInFestiveCheerBoots · 19/12/2012 15:51

How are the Costa Salted caramel lattes? I love the Starbucks one but don't want to go to Starbucks.

YANBU. I want a mince pie. Maybe if you get another the 2YOWWNN will go back to sleep Xmas Smile

TastesLikePanda · 19/12/2012 16:11

Silly question... Is the salted caramel drink - well - salty?

Cos it sounds a bit vom inducing if it is...

They are O.K, never tried the Starbucks one, so can't compare. Not salty per se, but not all sweet and cloying like other syrupy coffees I have tried in the past. Smile

I was put off by the salt issue too, I was rather Hmm at having to pay to swallow warm salty liquids.

Our costa have taken to putting the little notices with calorie counts beside each item. It ruins the denial.
