Too Many Starbucks

I meet with my friend, Tony, for coffee about once a month.  We usually meet at a Starbucks on the corner of Hunt Club and Merivale in the parking lot of Rona.

When I arranged to meet with Tony this month, he said he would meet me at the Starbucks on Hunt Club in the Lowe’s parking lot.  I didn’t realize this wasn’t the same place we usually meet.

I drove to the old Starbucks at the right time and waited there for a half hour.  Tony didn’t show up.  So I walked around the parking lot to check that this was the right place.

Then I got in my car and was going to drive home.  Instead, I drove around the area to see if there was another Starbucks anywhere.  I drove around and around making U-turns all over the place; up and down Hunt Club and up and down Merivale. 

Finally, I drove further East down Hunt Club and found the Lowe’s with the Starbucks in the parking lot.  I couldn’t believe that there was another Starbucks so close to the other one that we used to go to.  Fortunately, Tony was still there and we had an abbreviated coffee.
