To think too many people have Costa or Starbucks as an accessory

[EvalionAngel]

A rather stylish women I work with seems to have a costa cup superglued. I never see her drink from it although coffee is present inside. I just don't get why some people always seem to have a coffee cup is it a snobbery thing?

Yes to the fancy wig.
You could have been unfairly disbarred, following a case where you took on the system. In series 3 the world finds out you were right all along...
And you would have a hunky sidekick who is secretly in love with you but you only have eyes for another.
(I may have thought about this a bit too much)

I think some people are under thinking why they need a little corporate comforter about their person every day of their lives

Costa fortune!
I prefer McDonald's or Greggs because it is cheaper and just as nice....☕

Why do you give a shit? You sound like a real misery

Gosh yes. I was only thinking this today. They buy a coffee for £4 and instead of enjoying a comfy chair and a nice place to recharge their batteries ; they choose to parade it around town trying to look too important to have time to stop.
Makes me chuckle.

Only 1 more to go till free coffee Tuesday...

No hipster beard.
I'm thinking young Robert Redford.

The hunky sidekick would be a detective book writer who comes in to drink coffee whilst writing his books, but the barista barrister (Usual) would have a thing for the owner of a rival old fashioned tea rooms around the corner.

There would be lot of flashbacks to your barrister days, Usual, so lots of fancy wig opportunities.

I haven't read all the many threads on this. All I can say is that I won a 'Costa cup' in a hamper with some coffee sachet things. So it was free and I sometimes take it to the rugby pitch on a Sunday filled with coffee to watch my son play. It's just a thermos type thing. What on earth is the problem?

It's just a cup FFS

Love it

He would start off with a hipster beard, and occasionally wear a bobble hat in the middle of Summer, which you would mock mercilessly.

At the end of series 1, he'd shave of the beard, revealing a chiseled jaw and leading to all sorts of confusion for the barista barrister.

Mellow birds

. In my industry you don't boil a kettle. . If you want coffee, you buy it.

how much time do you waste going out for coffee? Walk que wait pay wall back .... Sounds important and very busy !!

You are the barista barrister so get the sidekick of your choice

What's wrong with it being an accessory anyway? I bought a reusable Starbucks cup with the logo on because I think it's cool

Me, a fewish years ago, new mum, finally getting my you know what together and I buy myself a coffee from Starbucks. I think I look all hip trendy mum on the go, off to the park to meet my mum crew.
Well, no, I tipped coffee down me, on the buggy(could never get the stain out), and worse still on my baby. Luckily dd was not hurt, I panicked and checked, I had a burnt bosom, hand and a stained buggy. I learnt then never to push a buggy with a cup of takeaway coffee, but then I also don't think you can do much other than drink it so why walk around with it? I suppose if you are going from meeting to meeting, I always end up spilling it on my hand though.
I do wish I could do the school run in a car so I could have a mug/flask/cup of a hot beverage in the mornings like so many Mums I know.

So people who are bothered by the coffee, would you be less bothered by people who walk around with flasks from home as opposed to a paper cup?

I'm baffled as to some of the attitudes here. Where I am it's the norm to get coffee on the go. And snacks. Does it bother you to see people walking around eating snacks, too?

I keep coffee on me to prove to the world that I have had my coffee. I'm dangerous when I haven't. My city might sound the civil defense sirens if they thought I was on the loose without having had my coffee.

All those calling the OP strange for even thinking it are clearly guilty of this affliction. As a pp said I thought the trend was a bit passé now...to me it screams lookatmeI'mfartoobusyandimportanttoboilakettle!
"In my industry you don't boil a kettle...." is exactly the attitude. Boiling a kettle and daring to make my own brew is soooooo beneath me.....
Surely a thermos of tea is much cooler?? (Or maybe that'll be the next "thing" and Thermos sales will go through the roof as people who are clearly quite something wouldn't be seen dead without one!)

I have a 9 month old teething baby.

Give. Me. The. Coffee. And nobody gets hurt.

It's just that it's quite obviously a fad but some people have absorbed it as a natural way of life without really stopping to think about it.

We will look back and say "remember how we all used to walk around with cups of coffee that was weird" whenever the next thing takes over. It doesn't bother me (except for the all the plastic lids in landfill) but it's amusing that everyone has convinced themselves they need a hot drink 'on the go' instead of waiting till they get where they're going, because the shops have basically told everyone they can't wait and they make 2.40 a time out of this.

Even ten years ago when I worked in a large firm, and we all commuted in on the train, I didn't see people carrying cups of any kind. Everyone used the facilities in the office.

TheLast, it's nothing to do with enjoying a good coffee. So sorry, I'm sure you know better than I do what I like to drink.

Nowt so queer as folk.

But why on earth is it necessary to walk around with a take away cup of the stuff

Because no matter how much I pray/beg/wish I can't seem to master the art of twitching my nose & reappearing where I need to be.

Because on the school run I wait in the car for about 30 minutes, I can do this with a coffee. I don't want to leave another half an hour earlier to sit in Costa.

Because my car doesn't YET have a coffee machine

I could go on...there's a load of reasons.

Two of which Katie explained 😊

KatieScarlett - Because the last time I checked they don't deliver? And putting it in your bag wouldn't work very well

Yeah, it's a fad. A lot like me being vegetarian is a fad. Only 27 years so far, but I'm bound to grow out of it.

😁
