I like to get a bargain. Which means I will no longer be paying Starbucks prices. You go right ahead and order whatever you want. I would rather save a little so I can take my kids to the movies.
Oh, me? Gee, I like the plain old Americana, the smallest size they have, which for marketing purposes is called a what? Tall? Grande?
The sizes make no sense to me, since you've got what amounts to a choice of small, medium, and large. But it's all relative, right?
So yes, I like Starbucks coffee! I just don't like getting charged an arm and a leg for some bean that a peasant somewhere gets paid fractions of cents per pound to pick.
Isn't there more to life than a flippin' latte'? Or a frap? Do you have someone else to answer for, or do you just flock to the Starbucks to make them rich?
A taste test was done the other day which showed in blind tests, folk tended to choose the less expensive brands as tasting better.
Maybe you just think you're in a higher class because you choose to waste money on Starbucks. It's the status thing, isn't it? Be honest.
People! Who is paying you to advertise Starbucks? Do you not value your own time and efforts? Don't you see that this raving about the product is just the buzz that the corporate powers love to take advantage of? You have become dupes for the corporation, giving away what you could probably sell, if you used a little reasoning and astuteness. You've given away your time and expression for the mere pleasure of gabbing or chatting. Why? Is it because you are so isolated in your houses and apartments that you have lost the sociability which used to protect your common sense?
Wake up and smell the coffee! The aroma of truth, not the chemical addiction.
Are we not just creating a monster by this addiction to fancy frou frou coffees? At what point will we come to our senses and say enough is enough?

frou frou coffees?
When I stop at Starbucks (which is not a store or cafe...it's just a kiosk on the way into the local Safeway) I order a triple espresso.
I like COFFEE. Coffee-flavored coffee.
Except on VERY special circumstances, when I make a Latte d'Orleans, but I wouldn't let Starbucks make one for me...they don't know how. -
I am always amazed at anyone drinking Starbucks coffee as it is total crap. Mind you, I can see it might be OK in the USA where all coffee is crap. But anywhere else?

While hovering around Marienplatz in Munich, I had my first European Starbucks... unfortunately, I was due to rejoin my tour group soon, so I walked back with my overpriced drink which wasn't what I wanted, and I was enlightened by my tourguide, Gurkekönig Conrad, that Starbucks is truly owned by the mafia, and they all prophet by us buying their overpriced drinks.
When I returned home, I started the job of Summer School TA... My teacher asked me to go to the teacher's lounge and get her a coffee, and to get me one too while I was there... in short, one dollar bought the best damn coffee I've ever had
rock on, and screw starbuxx
