Starbucks Review No.7 : Crawley Tesco.

Once again, I've left a long gap between reviews, I don't know why that is I've been intensifying my visits if anything, my reason is two-fold, firstly...It's the summer and it's been HOT! Who wouldn't want a soothing Iced Cafe Mocha to cool down with? Secondly I've had this bloody spasm in my eye for two weeks now! People keep telling me that it's because I'm tired and/ or stressed...I've been thinking relaxing thoughts and getting lots of sleep but still stuck twitching away like a nutter...I had some time on a train journey to Tim's yesterday so I googled "Eye Twitch"...

According to eyedoctorguide.com : "Blepharospasm is the technical term for involuntary eye twitching (eye spasms). Blepharospasm is more specifically defined as an abnormal involuntary blinking or spasm of the eyelids. Eye twitching usually involves involuntary movements of the eyelid specifically. Some refer to this condition as eye spasms. Some doctors often refer to this condition when chronically present as "blinking disorder."

Well as funny as a "blinking disorder" sounds I don't want one! So googling away, I find a cure on medicalnewstoday.com : "People who drink coffee are less likely to develop an involuntary eye spasm".

Tim and I went for a nice walk near his new flat this morning. We took a slight diversion so I could get my fix. We popped into Tesco, where he told me there was a Starbucks


....We went up the escalator to the mezzanine floor...my friends know how I love a good mezzanine floor! A whole other level of crap you don't need!
Anyway, Starbucks...What a sight for spasm-ing eyes! It was huge, ample seating...very clean, very popular! Didn't queue for long, got to the front, the Barista was friendly, over friendly...I don't know if she thought Tim and I were deaf but she was yelling at us..."HI THERE! WHAT CAN I GET YOU GUYS?", lovely girl though! Very knowledgeable, I asked her a question about my reward card and she explained it to me LOUD and clear. Drink was made quickly and perfectly...ice cold...lovely!

I give the Starbucks on the mezzanine floor in Tesco, in Crawley 7 mochas out of 10. Twitching be gone!
