…you browse the Starbucks menu online so you can order right away when you get there.
Okay, that doesn't sound TOO nerdy. But honestly, I'm probably the most indecisive person ever (you should have seen me at a Girl Scout cookie sale: "I'll take Thin Mints. No, wait, I think I want Samoas… ehhh, no, I want Tagalongs." etc., etc., etc.), so every time I actually venture into Starbucks, I end up standing there for 10 minutes trying to figure out what I want. In the meantime, the baristas are getting impatient, I'm debating whether to splurge and buy a muffin along with whatever hot drink I get, and it always ends up being a 20 minute ordeal.
Then again, I try to avoid Starbucks whenever possible, as they rip off the public by charging ridiculous fees for their wireless internet. Seriously, you'd think a company that makes $1.6 billion a year could stop being so stingy and just make it $1 an hour, or even free.

I feel you on being indecisive. But sometimes ya know, you gotta just bite the bullet…even though that mocha latte you have been getting for a few months has been treating you pretty well, it still might be time to take the plunge and go for the caramel macchiato. You might find it is every bit as good as the mocha latte, and has an added caramely goodness that you didn't expect. I'm just sayin'.
PS - Thin mints all the way.
