Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I have decided to order the Low-fat Strawberry Coffee Cake at Starbucks, when I make the mistake of asking the girl at the counter if it's good. 

"I don't like cream cheese and it has cream cheese," she responds. "You should get the blueberry coffee cake."

But I'm not so much a fan of blueberry breakfast cakes and, when I tell her so, she decides that I should definitely go with the cinnamon. Definitely. The strawberry is pretty gross.

Thing is, I want the strawberry. Why do I even ask if I'm not interested in opinions? 

The strawberry? Was good.

I would go for anything with cream cheese. LOVE cream cheese. Sometimes it is just not worth asking for opinions--especially if they don't agree with what you want to hear, I have found. :)

hahahaha, thats what happens when you ask someone who has other tastes. That happens to me all the time, because apparently I am unable to make decisions, any kind of decisions, so i ask people and they give me their opinion, then they get mad when i dont take it, and then it always turns out i would have not liked their opinion anyway.

Cream cheese is a definite plus in my book. Totally agree, most of the time, other opinions are so irrelevant!

good for you; sometimes you just gotta go with your gut (especially when it involves food haha).

Starbucks baked goods are all pretty tasty, but they are also all frozen not freshly baked :(
