Starbucks & others...

[MelodyB]

Well, I love Starbucks, I dont think they over roast the beans, and would love to go with friends if I had any friends that wanted to go...and the truth of the matter is....STARBUCKS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME!!! Although I love it, I cant afford to go but every once in awhile...so if anyone wants to come down here and buy me a few coffees I am sure I can keep you entertained in that wonderful Starbucks culture!

I love Starbucks! The problem is, the location isn't convenient and I don't have much time to just hang out, and when I do have time I prefer to just be at home. If they're open late on Sunday, how about we plan to go there Sunday night after church?  If not, maybe we can plan to go on a Saturday afternoon.

You mean we could have been going there together all this time and you didnt tell me?? Hello? You need to let me know these kinds of things!! Im all for the Saturday thing...I dont wanna do Sunday nights till they get the new one open though, cause MLK BLV is just too far to go when I have to work Sunday nights, and anyways I need FOOD after church, cause I dont eat on Sundays remember? I sleep.

Just make sure mine is extra hot, will ya? I don't like that luke-warm stuff. 

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I have been ordering mine extra hot for the longest! It just doesnt seem hot enough if you get it regular!

Starbucks is just another gigantic non-personal empire...

*cough*

    ...bent on putting the shop around the corner out of business.  :grin:

And that's the reason I try and shop at the shop around the corner; not for books, either.

Why do I get pounded for not letting you know this and it's something I didn't know about you? 

[MelodyB]

Just because... and I didnt know you didnt know that I did and I didnt know that you did, you know?....I normally tell you things like that....

Gotta love GP, people find out all kinds of things about each other!

And sometimes about themselves, as well.

[MelodyB]

What is it with you people and 'The Godfather' ?!?!?

[M‡¢ĦÆŁ Ҝ]

The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the jerk. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf Grande, half-soy, Half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low, and one NutraSweet," oh, you're a huge jerk.

[SippinTea]

Asking for it to be extra-hot is about as fancy as I get. LOL  And decaf doesn't even taste like real coffee. 

(Oh, and btw,...that order made no sense.) 

[JoleneHeather]

I have only ordered one thing from starbucks... some green tea chi something or other.  It was good.  Im not a coffee drinker, Im a tea drinker.  Wish tea shops would become popular.

[Melody]

THAT would be awesome Jolene!  I would be a great customer!

Hey I came across this pic looking for tea comics and it's pretty so I thought I'd share....

"The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino."

I hate coffee

Amen on this opinion of coffee

I hate coffee too.  Coffee is bitter and yucky and I don't see how folks find the deadly brew drinkable.  Coffee breath smells like cigarette breath.

The only thing close to coffee I'll drink is hot cocoa or french vanilla mocah out of the machine at school.

[Bliss]

I love the smell of coffee shops.

I don't really drink coffee either. I like either french vanilla or mocha latte cappuccino or carmel frappuccino.


I also drink a lot of tea too.

how did i miss this?  not only a thread about COFFEE which competes only with water as my beverage of choice, but CR and terp are hijacking this thread (and i don't even know what they're talking about)!!

i drink starbucks all day at work because  . . . that's the kind of coffee they buy us.  i have grown to like it.  i also like alterra, which is a milwaukee brand.  i don't like fru-fru for coffee unless it's for dessert.

i do like dunn bros. and espresso royale, but more because of where they are than the coffee they serve. 

now, carry on with your pinkwinkin' selves!!

Ever seen "You've Got Mail" ?

[Classicrambler]

  i also like alterra, which is a milwaukee brand. 

Did you mean 'brand' or 'brew'? Seems that the latter would be more in keeping with Milwaukee.

[newkris]

the brand of the brew is alterra which is made only in milwaukee with the same pure water that other brews are known for  . . . also drunk by germans aplenty!!
