In the Phoenix Airport, I went to Starbucks... as per usual. Airport Starbucks' are generally not corporate owned, instead they're "licensed locations..." which basically just means that they don't get health insurance, and I can't get my discount. So the Starbucks at PHX looked unusually spiffy, so I decided to ask "is this a licensed location, or are you corporate owned?" The guy behind the counter must get asked that question a hundred times a day, because he knowingly shook his head and apologized. He asked me where I worked, I told him Boston, and he continued to chat while making my drink... and then he gave me a discount. Ain't that sweet? Even Starbucks employees who aren't really Starbucks employees know where it's at.
On the plane, it was super super sunny because we were above the clouds... which were super super thick. My favorite quote of the trip was when a mom told a little boy to look out the window at the clouds, and he said "woah, that is puffy." For some reason... it took most of my strength to keep from not bursting out in laughter at his comment.
