Planet Starbucks

On the way to church this morning we stopped to get Candace some coffee. Little did I know but we were going to a differant planet to buy her coffee. Our shuttle arrived at a brick building with a drive through window. On a sign as you enter the atmosphere to this planet had a strange language and strange writing. Words like venti, mochachino, frapachino, maciato and many others I can't pronounce. I was already concerned about my safety on this planet when a voice came over a speaker. On this planet I'm not sure how to determine the gender of its inhabitants. The voice sounded almost male but had quite a female twang especially when repeating the order back. I was oblivious on how to speak starbukian so I let Candace order her own. It was actually quite impressive to listen to her quickly spout off their very odd language. After ordering we drove to the next window to pay. This is when I realized that planet earth coffee money was no good here. Here at
planet starbucks an earthlings usual fifty cents for coffee has been replaced by a five dollar bill. After paying and then starting to drive off I start to wonder, how many trips to this planet does Candace make each week?? Do I really want to know??
