Every Starbucks here is swamped and frenzied.  I don't know how, I am convinced there are more Starbucks per people in this community.  Honestly those are two key factors that I warn my kids about, especially when trying to get allergy specifications out there.  (Not to mention expensive and nasty tasting).

Guess I might need to rethink this when DS1 gets older and wants to hang out without his mommy LOL  Though, I have to say that he is getting much better at loudly (he is not a kid who projects) places his order and noting his allergies in a variety of places.  He has even ventured into asking the questions he hears me ask (I ask if the waitress has a little time to let DS1 order as practice).

Maybe I will teach him to be a pack leader and convince everyone Caribou is better (I am not vetting Caribou safety, it just happens to be another chain option).
DS1 - Wheat, rye, barley and egg
DS2 - peanuts
DD -  tree nuts, soy and sunflower
Me - bananas, eggplant, many drugs

Caribou has a lot more wheat, peanuts, nuts, and soy.  I've gone into two different locations in different cities . . . and walked out and found the nearest soda machine, instead.

DD (03/12) eggs (small dose baked), stevia
DH histamine intolerance
Me?  Some days it seems like everything.

Thank you for the heads up Krasota.  I had not investigated yet.  My SIL and I head there for better coffee (my allergies are obscure enough that they don't affect coffee, just the munchies in the counter).

Very true.  Our local shop is a Caribou and I only let DD get a prepacked soda and chips if we stop in.
