I am usually my psychiatrist's first appointment of the day. I often find him in line at the hospital Starbucks. We will take the 3-4 min walk to his office together. He is sure though to ask me how irritated I was by the Starbucks experience on that particular day. It has always been a joke - albeit serious - between the two of us that my SBX 'experience' is a gauge of my current mental health (I am a former SBX manager and get easily irritated by badly run cafes and poor baristas).
