Starbucks
 

I think I am the only person in the world that doesn't like Starbucks:321GFY

My friend asked me to stop by there today and get her a coffee. She asked for a ..........

Grande Bravae Sugar Free Vanilla 2% milk 180 degrees

WTF????

What ever happend to just coffee?

Starschmuck, starfuck, starbucks, whatever - it can fuck off. It's fucking bullshit.

Regular coffee is boring, needs to have more taste to it which Starbucks brings to the table.

I don't drink coffee but I like the frappacino's StarBucks have! :thumbsup

You can get regular coffee there too.

When I go there I just say:
"Grande mild."
:thumbsup

I like coffee bean

Vanilla creme fraps :thumbsup

FUCK STARBUCKS :321GFY

LONG LIVE INSOMNIA CAFE!!!

LaurieX, i think you will enjoy this http://www.illwillpress.com/sml.html

Really? I'm shocked. I thought most everyone hated them. Although, I do have a great story about StarFucks....

In the mid 1990s, my friend was living in McLean, VA, a snobby, overpriced, pretentious bedroom community of Washington, D.C. Many self important, white, WASPy assholes lived there, including, but not limited to: senators, congressmen, lobbyists, big wigs in the Oil industry, a few Kennedys, Colin Powell, and that dumb-fuck, Ken Starr. Needless to say, this town did not appreciate a femme dyke hottie [with a real nice set of hooters, I might add].

One day in October of 1996, she ran into StarFucks to pick up a grande skinny caffeine free latte for her demon-boss. Gawd was surely on her side that day, for StarFucks was out of lids.

Anyway...she was making her way over to the little bar [with the cream and sugar], and this toddler runs right smack into her. My femme friend always wears heals, so she began to wobble and do that little "oh-fuck-oh shit-omigod" dance, trying to not spill 24 ounces of steaming hot overpriced yuppie java on this lil kidlet.

Both ecologically friendly containers of the demon-caffeine go flying from her hands, and the steaming brown brew of ecstasy made a gloriously large stain on a very nice pair of dark grey wool pinstriped men's trousers. Right on the crotch!!! There was a mighty, primal, disembodied scream. [As one would imagine]

She was mortified, at first. This poor man was wincing and turning purple in the face, and starting to chew her out. I apologized profusely, she started to take the blame for everything from the crucifixion to the inquisition. [as girls sometimes do]

Then, it dawned on my friend. This purple faced guy in the expensive pants looked awfully familiar. She halted the pathetic apologies, stared at his face dumbly for a minute, and then shrieked, "ohmyfucknggawd, you're PAT BUCHANNAN!!!".

He was one of the more prolific and notorious neighbors, too. In fact, my friend had just scalded the dick of America's favorite bigot!!!

Despite his pain and discomfort, he started to smile, extended his hand to shake, and made some sort of chipper mini speech, like "Why, yes I am, can I count on your vote next Month?"

"HellfuckingGod no, you're a fucking asshole!" she chirped, before coming to her wits (she had, after all, just spilled two hot grande coffees on a very powerful and scary homophobic man's cock).

The next time my friend ventured into that StarFucks [to get coffee for the mega evil boss], the barista whispered, "Are you the lady who spilled coffee all over Pat Buchanan? He's such a jerk! Your coffee is on the house!"

She never paid for another mocha there, again.

The End

tim hortons! for those of you from canada :p

OMG Thank you for that. I was laughing so hard I was crying! LOL:1orglaugh

Laurie!!!
Hey girl!!! We've got to get together...I guess meeting up at Starbucks is out of the question...lol...seriously though...it has been too long!

i like the java bean and it likes me. I admit Starbucks is getting more and more difficult to order from.

I get the employee discount cause I buy like 10-20 double espressos in the black can a week. The discount is like 25%, I was like oh shit, SWEET!

I drink a lot of coffee every day, have tried both all the big chains and all the small independant places that always get rave reviews in the indie newspapers...

Starbucks has the best testing coffee, with a couple of exceptions (One of the independant places really has my favorite coffee, but they're nowhere close by).

I always get a bold dark roast, my favorites from Starbucks being Kenya, Yukon, and sometimes Verona... Oh, and it's actually pretty much the cheapest cup of coffee short of McDonalds.

I'd much rather put the money or time waisted in there towards a good meal? In Vancouver it's a 'Gay thing' or a 'sucker thing'
I think..

I don't like paying $4-$5 bucks for a coffee! I didn;'t mind paying that much in Paris france when I was there for a meeting last year seeing everything in europe is more anyways. :2 cents:

i dont drink coffee at all

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

great story!

*deep curtsy* Why thank you, sir!

When I worked for NetPond (the first time, when they were based in Vancouver), we had our own ticketbook for Starbucks and were probably their biggest customer.

I oten complain about the poor service, but they make a damn good cup of coffee. I'm especially addicted to their White Chocolate Mochiato....it's like coffee with crack sprinkled in it.

I also love their business model: Get people in the habit of visiting you every day and paying $4-5 per cup for your core product with a hefty markup....

I always found there coffee to be too damn expensive. For $5-6 I can eat good at most places.

I'll take the 35 cent coffee from the machine anyday :)

Q:
were you sitting in the New west/Columbia street office? when or if there were still there..:winkwink:

that machine coffee will probably end up giving you some reaction
like bumps on the neck somewhere?

and lastly the socalled coffee ain't :1orglaugh

Where are you people getting these figures? $5-6 for a cup of coffee?! Do you complain that bar prices are too expensive because martinis made out of a slushee machine with chocolate syrup and and strawberries on top cost $10?

Small, medium, and large coffees at Starbucks are $1.75, $1.85, and $1.95, respectively (CAD). This is less than Blenz, 2nd Cup, Seattles Best, whatever.

If you're bitching about the specialty beverages (which are more like $3-4, not $5-6)... Why are you ordering a chocolate ice cream sunday instead of a cup of coffee?

starbucks rocks :thumbsup

Non-fat vanilla lattes for me! You can also get them sugar free!

:thumbsup

Yup, we had that Starbucks almost next door and had an office runner who hit it 3-4 times a day...

I don't drink coffee, and I don't like starbucks...:1orglaugh

I love Starbucks. I used to go to the original one down on Pike in Seattle in the 80's.

My wife was managing a Starbucks when I met her. They're an awesome company to work for. Full benefits for part-time employees. You cant beat their benefits. :thumbsup

Honolulu Coffee Company kicks ass too.

Hey! Yeah I agree lets get together soon. I think the bar would be a GREAT place to meet!:thumbsup Screw Starbucks

I would go to Starbucks every day if i had the money to.
Got to love the Vanilla Latte and the Caramel Macchiato both with extra shots in them...

:Graucho

Ask Dugmor, he works out of Starbucks......... He did the same thing to me in LA. I was so confused I just ordered the same thing he got. But he knew what he was talking about becuase it was very good.

Coffee is their whose product. Their Tazo Chai is assume! Also their Caramal Macyato is excellent as well!!!
