I still am thinking about this funny lady who was at Starbucks yesterday...
customer: "Do you have any of these Twin Cities mugs for Plymouth?"
me: "No, I think they just make those for the bigger cities."
customer: "Could you request them to make some for Plymouth? They have them for both Houston AND Austin in Texas."
me: "I really think they just make them for the bigger cities."
customer (while walking away): "Well, you do know that St. Cloud is the same size as Austin. Just put in that request."
me: "Sure (I'll get right on that, in a whisper), Have a nice day" (rolling my eyes, as her back is turned away by now)
For real lady? How in the world did St. Cloud get into this conversation? You were asking about PLYMOUTH, a suburb OF the Twin Cities, we did not discuss anything about St. Cloud. Maybe they'd consider St. Cloud in the future, maybe, but Plymouth?
Maybe you're misunderstood about the popularity of Plymouth. Even though it was ranked by some magazine "Top Ten places to live in the US" doesn't mean Starbucks cares enough to make a mug that has a photo of Plymouth Creek Community Center, or Medicine Lake etched in it with the text Plymouth, MN. Because, they'd have to write MN since there are probably 20 other cities in the US that are also called Plymouth.
Cheers!
