1. You have at least one membership to a coffee shop to show people.
And it probably didn't take you long to achieve that status. *cough cough* Gold Card, two months
2. The baristas know you by name.
You realize this when they say "Hi *name here*!" when you enter the shop.
3. When you are at a different location, they ask you why you are not at the usual location.
4. You have a usual.
5. And the barista knows that usual.
This is the greatest feeling of accomplishment.
6. That “usual” is probably complicated because you don’t settle for mediocre coffee.
"I would like a caramel macchiato, nonfat, with half the pumps, and extra caramel."
7. You plan your day around getting or making coffee.
8. The worst part of your day is when you finish your cup of coffee. 9. But that isn’t the only cup you will have for the day.10. You have a wonderful mug collection, which you enjoy sharing with others.
"You get a mug and you get a mug..."
11. Your friends who don’t drink coffee ask you for recommendations.
They are just all too good, but the task can be completed!
12. You have a collection of shirts with coffee sayings on them.
And you show them off because they are the greatest EVER!
13. Your idea of going out is going to a coffee shop.
And you may get a pastry if you are feeling extra crazy.
14. You wonder if you are crazy, but then realize you don’t care.
15. You love the taste and not even the caffeine.
16. After all, the caffeine probably doesn’t affect you.
I guess I have never drank enough to feel the effects.
