Pepsi or Coke?

Dining at the local Swiss Chalet I order a Coke, but the server rhetorical ask if Pepsi is all right? Having this article in mind I politely decline, although it doesn’t really matters to me.

“Oh” says the unnerved server “Can I offer you anything else? We have many soft drinks listed on the menu,” as he hands me one.

“I don’t think so,” feeling kind of empowered by my stubbornness and start enjoying the game.

“Anything to eat?”

“Sweet fries?”

 

“Unfortunately we don’t carry that, but we have very fresh salad.”

“I would hope so!” to say the least.

Needles to say, my power trip takes me to the next restaurant where I find Coke and sweet potatoes.

Tim Horton’s or Starbucks?

In the office is a subtle battle between coffee lover’s preferences on lunch breaks.

“I’m heading to Starbucks, anyone for a treat?” The intention is good, considering one have to carry a tray and not putting your hands in the pockets of the coat, but I guess that’s why we sell gloves.

Some people like Tim Horton’s coffee while others will drive or walk passed it, looking for the Starbucks logo simply because it’s a matter of taste.

On the toilet door of a washroom in Tim Horton’s downtown, Toronto is written with a marker: “Don’t eat animals and take off your fur coat.” What happened to freedom of choice and who write stuff like that on a public door? May it not be a person who wear leather boots, eat sushi, write in pencil or drink percolated coffee from the fields of slavery? 

In Starbucks is a drum with plastic bottled water and signs to encourage customers to contribute towards some children’s organization when purchasing some.  Plastic water bottles are banned in Canadian schools in an effort to be more environmentally friendly.

The car you drive

People who drive BMW will never drive a Mercedes unless they win it in some draw and visa verse or am I mistaken? Even if they win the specific make, they’ll most probable sell it back to the dealer and buy what they like. In my opinion it is not a matter of stubbornness or rigidity it’s simply a matter of taste or personality as suggested on Http://www.AllTheTest.com

Do we have a match between the brand of coffee, kind of soft drinks and the choice of cars and does it really matter?  Maybe not so much, but it will be interesting to know.

Bargain-hunters

Given the economy we have the good old bargain-hunters who will most likely not end up buying a Mercedes or BMW neither will they have a preference for coffee, where they can brew it at home where the heart is and for the price of one pop in a restaurant one can buy a six pack at the local store.

Regardless the intention and no matter what choices we make, someone out there will have a tag for us and a find a course to advocate.
