630 Hangout

I used to go to a Starbucks store just in front of the office building. Every morning and every evening, for a cup of black coffee or grabbing a sandwich, I went there at least twice a day during weekdays. The store staff were extremely friendly and warm, one of whom, a very talented college student has actually become a good friend. 

Then the office has been moved to a new building that is five-minutes' walk from the prior place. The new building has other coffee chain store. Furthermore a new coffee machine has been installed to the office. Most of all I have been stuck in a deal that kept me at my desk all the time. So naturally I have been long away from the store.

Suddenly the change came and somehow I've returned to the customary visit to the store, not everyday, but with frequency of 2-3 times a week. I've been welcomed by familiar faces and we are really glad and satisfied to meet again. It's amazing how just a little talk, smile and coffee in the morning make us feel like we are old friends. This is the magic of Starbucks, and that's why it is my favorite hangout.
