Eating a Starbucks sandwich without throwing up
I used to enjoy those chicken foccacia sandwiches they have at starbucks - you know, the kind that they have a shellacked version of in their display case. However, I always had a slight feeling of nausea about halfway through those sandwiches, which I could usually dismiss quickly by taking a swig of whatever coffee drink I'd ordered. Once, I tried eating one in the car while my wife was driving. She drives like shit, and when I point it out, she expresses her irritation with me by doing a lot of braking and jerky acceleration. Anyway, the car's pretty new, and so I didn't finish the second half of the sandwich, and just spent the rest of the drive with my eyes closed, trying not to say anything or think about the sandwich.
Ever since, I've been unable to face another Starbucks foccacia, which is probably for the best because they're overpriced and not all that good for you. My daughter loves them, though, and asks for one every time we're at Barnes and Nobles. She's five.
Today I was at Starbucks in the morning and noticed their breakfast sandwich display case, with similarly shellacked offerings, but in the breakfast genre. I decided to gamble, since I was hungry, and I ordered the turkey bacon & egg one. When I got it, I pried it open to inspect. Disappointment. The cheese was still cold in the center, as was the "turkey bacon". I handed it back and asked the guy if he could "cook it again". He did, and I was pleased with the result. I could tell the other customers were annoyed that I had distracted him from preparing their venti ammacchiato's, but I didn't care. I suspect some of them will try this in the future, and will annoy other customers. I ate the turkey bacon sandwich, and didn't vomit, but it cost too much.

1. If you think Starbuck's is too expensive than you obviously canno't afford it, and don't know what it means for something to be expensive.
2. Who cares whether or not you annoyed the other customers.
2. Theres no such thing as an ammachiato...
