I’m surprised this squish didn’t say, “If you use hurtful words, we will have to put you in time out, so you can think about better words.” GAG.

Other than the ‘third place’ business, I liked the employee’s tone in dealing with an offensive person.

I can proudly say I’ve never paid for a cup of Starbucks coffee.

A friend bought me one once.... worst drek I’ve ever tasted.

Starbucks is a nonentity to me.

“Starbucks is my lastplace.”


I’d make a big stink about referring to it as my Third Place.

I’m retired——and say that it is my Second Place and accuse them of age discrimination.

You actually paid ten dollars for a cup of coffee. Hm. ~I guess you are Starbucks’ lawful prey.

One of the bad things about virtue signaling is that it contains no virtue.

Interesting observation. We’ll see how this develops.

Nope. My wife is. I refused to drink coffee when we were in Seattle.

Here’s the part that annoyed me. I was looking at the prices while my wife and daughter were ordering and noticed a lousy cup of iced coffee was ten bucks. Then my wife comes over to me after paying and I asked if she got a receipt (used a credit card). She said no. I asked how much it was. She said she didn’t know. Grrrrr!

But I’m not really angry with her. It was a one time thing. Interestingly, my daughter ordered that ten dollar coffee. It was crap (she gave me a sip). I mean, it was like someone took a cup of regular Keurig coffee, poured it over ice, and done.

My wife and I have not darkened the doorway of a starbucks for the last few years except for that. I even got my company to stop including Starbucks in their choices for our Keurig at work.

Well, I don’t know about anyone else but I find it refreshing that a business doesn’t tolerate the kind of language that is too common everywhere today - including here at FR..
