When you can't go into a King Soopers without seeing a Starbucks.
Then the *one* time you actually go to King Soopers to buy a bag of Starbucks, you see a Tully's coffee?? What the frick is Tully's!? ARgh.

PS. I know, I know... I should go to an actual Starbucks location to get the coffee. More for your money. FML x2.

Grind my gears- The delta bravo DRUNK driver we watched crash into the median barrier at I-25/HWY 7 early Sat morning while trailering to PPIR. We've seen a couple questionable drivers at that early hour, this guy was DEADLY drunk.

Came up on him in traffic as he was going slow at the time, noticed weaving, then two lane abrupt changes, going slow, speeding up (at least 90, so hard to get a description and plate). Called CSP "very dangerous driver SB I-25, mile marker XXX (10 miles north of Hwy 7)" Stayed behind him when he slowed again.

At HWY 7 where I-25 curves right under the underpass- he didn't. I call CSP again to report the wreck.

He ripped up the front left and slid to a stop all the way over in the right lane of I-25 at the end of the entrance ramp. Glad he didn't take anyone with him.

We stop. When approaching the car, the engine is still revving up and down. I carefully approach hiding behind the A pillar in case the guy is a violent nutjob, and knock on the windows. Driver ignores me. Open the door, tell him he needs to get out (car is blocking I-25). He's so incoherent, he doesn't realize he crashed and stopped, still thinks he's driving- despite the guy standing there with the door open. I reach across the beer cans to turn on the emergency flashers and shut off the car. He restarts it (repeat x3 until I figure out to shift it to P to remove the key). Get him safely out and to the shoulder (fling off my wedding ring waving down a car coming down the onramp while escorting him across- found it later thankfully). I ask him if he's on meds/ insulin/ has a head injury, etc. Dude still thinks he's in the car even while sitting on the guardrail.

Paramedic is first on scene, is talking to him.
Driver: "... when I saw your lights, I pulled over to the side of the road"
Paramedic: "I didn't pull you over, I can't pull you over, I'm a paramedic. You crashed, your car is still in traffic..."

cops take their sweet time arriving <insert rant about BS tickets- but no bleeping cops around when you call in a TRULY dangerous situation>

Cops hook him up. Hopefully they bury the a-hole under the jail.

Glad it's just a good story, and not "I watched a drunk driver kill (you or one of your relatives) Sat morning"

if it happened saturday he is probably out already. DUI's aren't that inforced from what I've seen. I had an ex boss get cought with cocain and open beer cans and so much yet he was out within a week.

May not carry a lot of jail time, but they sure are expensive.

I've never seen a Starbucks in a King Soopers :huh:

All the ones near me have Tully's anyway...and I actually like their coffee better, hah.

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before (or someone else has), but people who don't use turn signals, when it's obvious you need to use a turn signal, really grind my gears. I was at a stop sign in a parking lot earlier and this lady in an SUV was coming from my left. She turns right without a signal...I had the top down in the S and she had her window down, I said "thanks for using a turn signal lady..." Apparently she heard me 'cause she looked at me like I was crazy

Well my buddies saw my face and they just laughed at me haha. The guy had his back to us, and rightly so haha.

Wow. I hope that guy got severely punished, like never-get-your-license-back punished. But in case he didn't, someone should find him and beat him relentlessly. There is ZERO reason to be driving drunk, much less that drunk.

I also agree with the stupid tickets vs. availability of an officer when you really need them (because they're out handing out useless tickets haha), but I won't go into that any more haha.

From what I've noticed, a lot of Kings actually in Denver have Tully's while those more outside of the city itself (like the one I work at) have Starbucks.

Woohoo for getting a 10% discount at Starbucks in King Soopers.

Our local King's has a Tully's (King Sooper's house brand, I think). I think there's a Starbucks in Tully's bathroom though: http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-starbucks-opens-in-rest-room-of-existing-starb,560/

Ha ha, nice.

King's house brand, makes sense. Got a bag of the Tully's Italian blend...meh, had better.

Down here there's a Starbucks in a Safeway while four doors down in the same shopping center is a full Starbucks.
