“Starbucks’s first store opened in Seattle in 1971” with the help of Cosco, also from Seattle. The owners of both companies planned to grow together and have done very well. The problem is that Starbucks has garbage coffee: picked from the worst crops that are full of pesticides. Burnt coffee? The taste of pesticides. The Starbucks in Berkeley has been boycotted since the 1980’s and the Starbucks on Haight St. in San Francisco has been boycotted by locals since they opened. Peets coffee, owned by Starbucks since 1990, has a better product.
I think Peet’s is equally as bitter as Scorchbucks.
