He’s a stealth democrat presidential contenter, trying to show concern.

The theme is switching. It used to be the baristas encouraged their customers to "race together."

Now they are going to suggest to their customers "lets try living a minimum-wage lifestyle together."

“It takes a Starbucks to raise a village!”

Caffeine and anxiety, caffeine and anxiety...nope, no connection there.

If they are that worried, they shouldn’t be overpaying for that bad Starbuck’s coffee.

You know what else stresses out Starbucks customers? Too much caffeine.

Does this mean if I get a coffee at Starbucks tomorrow the baristas will let me order in English?

Yes. They might not be able to pay their bills.

My coworkers at my last gig introduced me to StarBucks.

I found that I love their Caramel Machiados. YUM!

My former wife had to have a coffee in the morning, or she stood a good chance of getting a headache.

She introduced me to flavored creamers. Coffeemate Vanilla Caramel and Hershey’s Delight Chocolate Caramel are excellent when mixed. In eight ounces I put one teaspoon of the Vanilla Caramel. I also put in 7.5 ml of Chocolate Caramel. Then I add some sweetener to taste. Sometimes I add a bit of Reddi wip cream. Mmmmmmmmmmm...

This makes a great freshly brewed drink.

When brewing coffee for myself, I decided to make up lahrge batches, and put it in jars in the refrigerator, so I would always have some on hand. Worked great.

I’d take out 8 ounces and put it in the microwave for 2.25 minutes. Excellent.

Then one day I tried pouring some of the cold coffee in a cup, putting in my favorite ingredients and drinking it.

Whoa! It as very refreshing and seemed to taste even better. Man am I a happy camper.

I posted this, because others may want to try it.

Who needs StarBucks? What I am drinking now is very satisfying.

StarSchmucks has grown too big for its breeches.

If any SB folks are reading - just serve coffee and be quiet.

“Let’s be very sensitive to the pressures our customers may be feeling...

Why would I spill my guts to a newbie barista shrink at Starbucks when Joe the bartender down at our local watering hole already has that job so well covered?

My stress at Starbucks usually stems from a screwed up order.

And everybody knows that what people under stress need is excessive caffeine and sugar, right?
