Change the Culture!

There's one little thing that's been nagging at me about us here in the good ol' US of A.  It bugs me so much that I actually have to write about it here.  Now sure, we all have our pet peeves and it's not that big of a deal, but it really irks me!  Here it is: when there is a coffee station, why do people pour a cup of coffee, stand there, add creamer, sugar, give it a stir, sip it, add some more cream/sugar, sip it again, fumble with the lid, put on the heat sleeve, and then finally move out of the way for the next person?!  How much time are we spending in line waiting for the other person to doctor up their coffee and be on their way?  (Probably about as much time as it takes to write this post!)

Most coffee drinkers know how they like their joe fixed, so why not pour your coffee, grab your cream, sugar, lid, heat sleeve, and plastic stirring stick and step out of the way for the next person?  Wouldn't that be the polite/courteous thing to do?

Let's change the culture!
