Failed Starbucks Trip

I received three Starbucks gift cards for Christmas, and I decided to treat my husband with a venti cup of his favorite Americano. I need to go out to run some errands anyway, so I told him I'll get us some coffee. He is just happy to remain in bed longer, after his night out with his friends last night.
I went to the Dollar Tree first to get some shower curtain hooks. We went to Target yesterday and I decided that I want a new shower curtain for my bathroom. I forgot that the one I currently have does not have hooks, so I did not buy any from Target. When we got home and as I was going to put my new shower curtain, I found out that I have to get some hooks. I found a pack of 12 from the Dollar Tree. I also got a jar of scented candle (surprise, surprise) and some sanitizing wipes.
I tried to place our Starbucks order through their mobile app, but it will not let me. I checked their hours, maybe they are closed today, but nope, they're open. So I just decided to go through their drive-thru. When I get there, the line is so long that the end of the line is actually past the highway. And their parking slots are all full, so ordering in store is also out of the question, unless I want to wait and chance upon someone pulling out so I can park.
I decided to just go to Dunkin' Donuts. I cannot believe that the line is that horrible at Starbucks. The only thing that I can think of is they also are using their gift cards, and so they are patiently waiting.

Normally, I prefer the coffee back home. I think Starbucks is overpriced, but as I have gift cards I think it will be a nice treat for my husband and I. I will try again some other time, I have to make sure to use my gift cards. I once have a gift card lapse.
