Coffee Shop Literacy Dig

Today, my group went to Borders Bookstore, where there is a Seattle's Best Coffee shop. There were a few things that I thought were interesting. Most of the people that were there were older, probably 30-50 or so. The majority of them were by themselves, and either on their laptops, or just sitting and reading.  The shop was set up in a corner of the store, kind of away from the books. It was pretty quiet, with just some light music playing in the background. My guess is that the people who were in the coffee shop part of the bookstore just wanted a place to go and have some coffee or a pastry while they relaxed in a quiet place, taking a little break from their day. It is possible that some of the people were annoyed by our group, since we had to talk to get out project done, and there was not much talking going on, besides from us.

I have ordered coffee from Starbucks before, so I knew most of the "lingo", but there was something that I found interesting about the sizes that you could get at Borders. Instead of ""short", "grande", or "venti" there is just "small", "medium", and "large". A few of the drinks had fancy names, such as "fruitkula", and "cremekula", but for the most part, it was easy to guess what each drink would be like.

All in all, I thought that this literacy dig was very interesting, because it shows how much literature can be found in the most random of places.
