10 Surefire Signs Your Starbucks Addiction Is Getting Out Of Hand

8. You Know The Exact Travel Time From Starbucks To Your Job

Unfortunately for those who have come to rely upon that morning dose of caffeinated ambrosia, there are generally aspects of life that get in the way of a slow savoring of that most beloved of beverages. Most inconvenient of all is undoubtedly that pesky job that gets in the way of everything. Between the unfortunate biological imperative to sleep every once in a while and those Maslowian necessities - shelter, clothing, food not of the scone and/or muffin variety - that require more than stained paper cups and green stir sticks to obtain. Besides, that daily Caffè Latte isn't going to upgrade itself to Venti. Short of winning the lottery and then finally having the means to install a personal Starbucks and master barista into your mansion before swimming in a pool of cash in the manner of Scrooge McDuck, you are cursed with the need for a job. Of course, you could always take that most monumental of steps and sacrifice your daily dose of Starbucks and make that Caffè Latte a weekend treat, thus saving yourself time, money, and symptoms of withdrawal by 2PM. You could just give it all up and find a way to energize yourself without stimulants. Or you could just figure out the exact travel time that will take you from home to work with a nice invigorating stop at Starbucks in between. You can even finally make use of that primary school mathematics and figure out plus/minus five minutes either way. Take that, Maslow.
