What Is Up With Starbuck's?

    What is up is that when they thought they were the alpha dog, they could afford to snarl and bite. And now that they are whining for a handout, no more than a street cur, they need every friend they can get.

    I do know one thing is that I will never spend a dollar in any Starbucks.

    You guys need to lighten up!  With over 250,000 employees, once in a while one of them will make an error in judgement.  The company always makes it right.  When I'm working on the road, it's nice to have places in my territory where I can stop & rest & use the restroom, and get a cup of coffee.

    Starbucks doesn't sell coffee. They sell milky drinks made with burned coffee grounds, ordered with a secret language, and costing a dollar an ounce. Coffee is what you get from a pot at a truck stop - that has restrooms identified by gender.

    Never stepped into any of their stores, even to use the restroom, and don't plan to in the future.

    You would think this could offend their liberal customer base and cost them business. I won't shop there because I don't think I could stand associating with their customer base. Also I can make several pots of coffee for what one serving costs there. If I have coffee out it is usually at a restaurant where after several cups I have to tell the server no thanks I don't need another refill.  Bob

    I've only been in one twice and both times was for business reasons. Once to meet my supervisor and once to meet a client.

    I just burn the coffee beans, mispronounce my name real loud, and set fire to a $10 bill.  Saves time.

    I thought they hated police and military people, but now I see they are giving away coffee to cops and other first responders.   Weird.

    Well, understand that the guy who bought the franchise (just before all this hit) has not only his entire savings tied up in this, but years worth of future earnings. In short, he's fooked if he doesn't get the building done and open.

    I believe Starbucks does not sell Franchises

    I assumed that they did, like almost all other chains. Never having crossed the threshold of one, and not having the slightest interest in them, I am likely wrong.

    They did hire a bunch of Vets.  Sorry Rocky I don't like the acid you call coffee, I don't need any paint removed.  Ours is open, drive through only.

    In my formative years, I drank Army chow hall coffee. Truck stop brew is Earl Grey by comparison.

    I used to hit Starbucks twice a day and I think a large coffee was $2.77 with tax.  Their "Ethiopian" coffee was and remains some of the best coffee I have drunk but they only brewed it a few times a year so I would buy it by the pound and grind it myself. The last time I stopped by they informed me they had discontinued the Ethiopian and I have not returned. The people working there always treated me well. But since I obtained my Desk Mounted Mr. Coffee I have no need for coffee shops unless traveling.

    No matter what you think of their coffee, their Eggwhite Eggbites with pepper are really good. :)>:):D
