Do you love or hate Starbucks?

I'm not crazy about starbucks. Because they are a large chain the quality of the employees is equal to the minimum wage worker you find at McDonalds or any other fast food chain, only with a bigger attitude problem. They are always messing up my drink and I seldom get what I pay for. The way these kids cheat you on shots of espresso you think they paid the raw material cost out of their own pockets.

Why I go back? Convenience and lack of options. I don't have alot of time in the day to go somewhere and stand in line, Starbucks is the only drive through espresso place around in sunny hot FL. Krispy Creme makes a damn good coffee, but they are too far out of the way.

Makes me realize how spoiled I was in olympia.

I only like it because they are pretty much the only specialty type coffe place around. Everyone else just serves plain old coffe and regular mochas etc which I just can't stand the taste off.

I drink a fuckload of coffee... Been to all the big chains, all the little places.... With the exception of a couple of the italian places, Starbucks is by far the best tasting coffee.

I don't go for the weird ass caramel chocolate milkshake stuff they sell though... Just black dark roast, thanks.

I was in California a couple of weeks ago though, and the Starbucks there sucked ass compared to Vancouver. No wonder you guys don't like it, they didn't have any of the roasts they sell up here!

Starbucks is a lot like Krispy Kreme donuts. Overrated.

Good marketing apparently makes people like something they wouldn't care about before.

I prefer less burnt coffee. And for donuts, Krispy Kreme tastes no different than the kind of donuts you get at the local grocery store. I prefer donuts from real donut shops that taste like they've been made their and not bought from a package of donuts in the grocery store. And the coffee is better at donut shops than at Starbucks too, lol.

Okay.....

If it tastes better, I'm all for it. Got anything else for me to try, I'll be delighted. I don't care whose pockets I'm lining here; it's not about that. It's about I DON'T LIKE FUCKIN BURNT COFFEE.

Whoa.

I really DO need a fix.

I really love Starbucks especially their frappuccino. Look at the ambience it's really cool

Coffee seems to give me headaches so I stopped drinking a year ago

Can't live without it!

I like ALL iced coffee latte type drinks with lots and LOTS of whipped cream on top. Starbucks is good. The Mocha latte at
Baskin Robbins is good too. I love all cold latte drinks! The best part is the whipped cream!!

Make sure to use Rembrandt toothpaste afterwards and don't forget your yearly teeth bleachings, because that stuff stains your teeth!)

**SykkBoy** · 08-23-2004, 08:15 PM
