In my world where Bacon Gruyre Egg Bites reign supreme, I, a humble devotee, embarked on a covert mission: infiltrate Starbucks corporate and acquire the sacred recipe. ( yes I moved to Seattle for this mission in 2022) Hq is at 2401 utah ave S. In seattle Wa. Just 3 hrs North of Molalla. February 18th and With a sparkle in my eye and a rumble in my belly, I crafted the most impressive resume the coffee world had ever seen. "Former espresso whisperer," "Latte art champion," and "PhD in Caffeinomics" were just a few of my fabricated credentials. March 3rd, Dressed in my finest barista apron, I waltzed into the Starbucks headquarters, ready to blend in like a well-steamed milk. They welcomed me with open arms, dazzled by my (fake) expertise. I was in! As I toured the hallowed halls, my eyes were not on the bean roasting trophies or the portraits of coffee legends, but on the prize: the Egg Bite recipe. I schmoozed with the bigwigs and nodded sagely at meetings, tossing around terms like "froth margins" and "bean liquidity." But every chance I got, I snooped around the kitchen labs, searching for the golden formula. I even started a rumor about a mythical "Egg Bite Appreciation Society" to gather intel. However, my egg-centric focus was my downfall. During a crucial meeting, while everyone discussed coffee bean futures, I blurted out, "But how do we make the egg bites more affordable?" Suspicious glances were exchanged. My cover was crumbling like an overbaked scone. The jig was up when the IT department discovered my work computer was used solely for googling "How to make egg bites" and "What does a corporate person do?" Security escorted me out, with me dramatically yelling, "You may take my badge, but you'll never take away my egg bites!" Though my corporate career was over before it even began, my legend lived on. Starbucks Employee friend i had made there, James says whispers about the mysterious "Egg Bite Spy" in the break rooms still going on, chuckling over their caffeinated concoctions. And me? I returned to my sales job.. and to my local Starbucks as a regular customer, a little wiser, a bit humbler, and forever dreaming of the day I'd crack the code of the Bacon Gruyre Egg Bites.
