The problem with Starbucks

[Aphro]

Personified for you in one totally hilarious video

"The beans were ground between two dancing teenagers..."

And why can't they just say small, medium or large? Does calling it a Grande or a Venti really make it seem acceptable to charge $5 for a cup of coffee?

Gawd I'm glad I'm not subjected to city life every day

I love the coffee; I hate the hipster atmo.

And I refuse to use their made up words. I'm old school.

"I'd like a regular old coffee, medium, black and nasty"

 

[chillywilly2]

I don't go there...line ups are too long...if I did, I would be going for the car, not a free cup


At country style there are no lineups and every 3rd cup is a free cup winner

Based on the ubiquity of Starbucks, I'm going to go with ... yes. I totally applaud the Starbucks model. Coffee shops were not really a thing before they came along; they didn't replace mom 'n pops. In fact, Starbucks popularized the concept of coffee shops to the point where independents have popped up as an alternative, to a growing consumer base that suddenly needs complicated coffee-like beverages as part of their normal routine. Way to go, American capitalism!

Doll, you gotta stop the rushin to judgment about me. BTW look for my momma's photo on the mixed marriage thread.

Hey, don't be making fun of me because I have a venti latte and sit for 3 hours writing after work..those lattes remind me of the shot of coffee in my large glass of milk I had as a kid at grandma's after church


We don't have a Tim Horton's this far east of Buffalo. Krispie Kreme was run out of the area because there donuts were judged not as good as the ones mom and pop bakeries made. There are two "real hipster" coffee shops downtown, but the college kids have taken them both over.
