Have they considered coffee and taco carts in Harlem? Cheap and can go with the flow if the race discussions get out of hand!
$600 per square foot.
is that, per month, or per year?
Mc D’s a buck all sizes..if you “Actually” order coffee
I’s sure they will. But actually, I’d suspect that most of the baristas themselves would rather not do this. This is probably true of all the baristas, ranging from the hostile black baristas in the airports and some shops in NYC to the white liberal flakes spread throughout the country.
In the end, all the Starbucks employees want to do is go to work and make a living, and having their CEO (who is probably making a very comfortable living) take away from their livelihood and bog them down into something with which they may sympathize but which really isn’t why they go to work in the morning is not going to go down well with anybody.
I went into a Starbucks inside a Fry’s grocery store yesterday and asked the lady in back of the counter if she was going to lecture me on race. She had no idea what I was talking about. This race thing sounds like a flash in the pan. These food stores are very practical and know if they started to get into politics their business would evaporate.
A million bucks for rent? Why, that’s two or three cups of coffee.
SUrprisingly enough I just came back form a location...a small “outdoor mall” which since i visted the last time several years ago...now has a starbucks.
I didn’ stop in...but I was a tad shocked at the location as its not a starbucks sort of neighborhood necessarily.
If they close, where are we going to have conversations on race!
A million to the Rev. Will take care of the problem!
“A Starbuck’s on every block”...
It’s EXACTLY the same way in downtown Seattle.
I rarely buy “genuine” Starbucks coffee confections any more. Right in my neighborhood there is a yogurt store where they also whip up most of the Starbucks coffee creations-—for less money. I love to tell the little guy behind the counter to “surprise” me. And he never disappoints. My current favorite is a cup of cold coffee in a large plastic cup, with the instructions to “go fill it up with yogurt”. I fill it to the top with various types of coffee-compatible yogurt flavors, he whips it up, and I have the most delicious milkshake that wakes me up from the afternoon doldrums.
Where will I go to talk about race with a total stranger? The horror.
I actually like McD’s coffee more than Starbucks. Starbucks has good coffee. Chic Fil A with the artificial creamer is nasty.
I have a Starbucks at the end of my street.
I’m single and not dating now so I inquired and they are opening wine bars. I am, however, disheartened by their corporate choices of a bakery, for one.
i just bought a new home with no Starbucks so it looks like I’m going to have to develop an evening hangout in my new neighborhood.
So, if SBUX won’t come across, who stands ready to replace them?
BFL
The UD has twenty definitions of BFL ...
Starbucks coffee is decent, but for the life of me I can’t make a decent cup using their beans at home.
Around here anyway, it's not just that McDs coffee has a better flavor. At both the Starbucks and the Panera, I would sometimes get coffees which were brewed imperfectly. That never seems to happen at McD's.
