[[I never understood how starbuck got so big and so popular.]]

By playing off the psyche of people who fall for trends so easily- charge a lot and people will think you’re the bee’s knees, the cat’s meow, the dog’s bark, the .... whatever- and they will flock to you and gladly throw their hard earned money down the drain for crappy coffee-

[[If all logical people boycotted their stores and/or gift cards, Starbucks would be out of business.]]

Not true, there are way too many illogical people In this country these days who support what these immoral cretins do

The sane might put a little dent in their profits, but really, most starbucks are located in inner cities where the majority are liberal whackadoos anyways-

I agree wholeheartedly. The cheapest store brand coffee has a better roast than the swill they pass off as coffee at these pretentious coffee stands.

Besides their holier than though Liberalism is really of putting.

Anyone noticed a fecal smell emanating from some coffee and phone/computer products lately? Some consumers also make an obvious statement about themselves by buying such products.

Apple fan boys are beyond redemption. They are all things Apple, even though Tim Cook is a disgusting rump ranger and likely pedophile.

Make sure you write a nice polite letter expressing that sentiment to him and every Board Member.

It always tastes burnt. The only good tasting cup of Starbucks coffee I ever had was in Dubai airport.

True, Apple fans do seem to be a bit cultist. Can’t imagine any of them using a Windows PC...(or knowing how). heh. Somehow, that Democratic advertisement of Pajama Boy in the basement comes to mind.

Hell any store brand uses a higher quality bean and better raost than Starbucks their coffee just tastes wretched. There isn’t enough sugar and cream in the World to de bitter the taste of it.

Besides I can buy a pound of high quality coffee at the store for one cup of their crap and brew several pots.

If they’re getting a return of 38 percent it means that their prices are too high, and those big corporate executives are getting rich on the backs of the poor.

I can honestly count on 1 hand the Times I had Starbucks coffee. It sucked every time. There is an acidic, burnt quality to it that I can stand. And I like dark coffee.

I think it's meant to be that way because of all the extraneous crap that's put into it. They never intended it to be drunk black.

Starbucks has long openly supported the homosexual agenda...going back to at least early 90s...Christians who drink Starbucks beverages are linking arm in arm with their social causes

Anyone noticed a fecal smell emanating from some coffee and phone/computer products lately?

In the last I guess decade, the country of Viet Nam was invited into the global coffee trade by globalism, and their product was notoriously hideous. I don't know if SB sourced anything from their. But VN coffee was reportedly literally containing high amounts of I believe sticks/junk/etc., if I recall correctly. I don't know if or how much it has improved.

"Bad" coffees can have some really foul odors/tastes under various conditions. Drinking it black provides the most accurate tasting of course. I can recall various bad coffees I've had to endure having a sort of "feline-urnine-y", or maybe fecal, kind of aroma. Hey, if you're working late, the project needs to be done tomorrow, it's the only thing keeping you going, you see if you can find some powdered milk and sugar and just... keep working. :)

Now I know, after all these years, WHY I have NEVER been to a Starbucks or tasted their coffee.

I can truthfully say that I have never been in a Starbucks and also truthfully, I plan to keep that trend going. Especially now.

The best coffee in Tampa was the old Quatro Julio on Howard Ave. Is it still great in the “new” location?

It’s popular because of the panache and circumstance.

Trendy, a little soup Nazi-ish, overly priced, pretentious, and they make their customers learn to speak a made up language when ordering.

It’s hip [whatever the ‘word’ is nowadays] to have that big cup with the green all over it - it shows you care, for something you can’t even describe.

Their hip customers carry their cups around like a big phallic symbol - must give them some sense of security knowing their junk is firmly in their grasp.
