STARBUCKS RULES!!!!! 500 South Broad Street Meriden, CT 06450   This blog is a shout out to Jessica working at the Starbucks on 500 South Broad Street in Meriden CT.  Last Wednesday, I was in Meriden for a walk through before a closing.  I stopped at Starbucks for a much needed Venti coffee.  That morning the town of Cromwell informed me not to turn on my hot water because it was not hooked up correctly when the new hot water tank was installed.  Being the day before Thanksgiving and no hot water in sight until *maybe* Friday morning.. I was livid to say the least.  When Jessica heard the whole story, she told me that the coffee was on her/Starbucks that day.  THANK YOU JESSICA!!   I will now make a point of going there more often.  So, I'm hoping that a nice gesture like this will not ... 11/30/2009
