Huh??? I have never seen any of these statements on the side of a coffee cup.
It is the price of indulging in coffee snobbery if the first thing that keeps me away from Starbucks not what is written on the cups.
I can’t believe they would actually put those statements on their cups! I never saw those either.
The Way I See It #2 I couldn't’t imagine a better way to spend eternity than to sing the praise of our Lord and Creator to the sound of a harp.
I got #230 last week, about heaven being boring. What a gasp inducing, idiotic idea. I felt a little awkward running around my Christian household with it.
Probably like my mom feels eating an In N Out Burger with Revelation on her wrapper! She’s an atheist, sad to say.
I think Matt Barber should have phrased his statement in a way that actually would have made it onto a cup instead of sounding like a Bible-thumping preacher. Not that the lefties don’t sound like they’re promoting their own “religions” but Barber doesn’t have a chance with what he wrote. Maybe he should have gone the sarcasm route, which seems to confuse credulous libs and allow conservatives to sneak in places they otherwise would be persona non grata.
Target has a Mr. Coffee espresso machine with extras for $29.99 and I think I might just go get one this week.
Well, for 17th century people, heaven meant a release from a chancy existence, where one could never been sure of the next moment. Wealth and power might mask this, but reality kept breaking through. But isn't that all still true? And, anyway, what wass the vison of heaven that ther mystics showed us? It was to be within the presence of God and perfect certainty and god-like powers. Medieval theologians had a very different conception of the physical universe than we, so theirt imagination was more limited. I myself think of having the powers of, say. "Q" from Startrek, but without his childishness. That is, if I make it. Hell, would like like the equally fictional notion of a black hole.
The way I see it #107199-”$4.00 is way too much money to spend on what is at the end of the day a mediocre cup of coffee at best.”
The Way I See It #8877: “Since most of the previous comments I’ve seen on Starbucks cups are pretentious, solipsistic sophisms, I’ll forswear adding yet another self-aggrandizing inanity.”
I mostly don’t drink it, but once in a while I do indulge. I simply do not understand the passion.
Anyhow, when I do drink it, I like it to be bitter and black, and Starbucks does that “shot” thing which makes it even more bitter it seems to me.
So then I read about these etchings on the side of the paper cups, and I just decided that enough is enough for me.
I am quite unlikely to be going into any Starbucks again soon, but the loss of my business will not be be noticed, and it is simply a symbolic gesture on my part. They’ll likely not miss my 2 or 3 times a year purchases.
Go Tully’s folks.
Tully’s coffee decided to donate 15% if its total store revenues to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on May 22.
If you go to their site and look at their charities, it’s all about curing diseases, and not spreading them.
Anyway, if you got to pay $4/cup of coffee, don’t choose charbucks (they burn their coffee!), go Tully’s!
Anybody that doesn’t have access to a Tully’s, I’m sorry for you, because its good coffee.

Proud to have never set foot in a Starbucks.
Never will, neither.
2. Starbucks makes bad coffee. That's reason enough to refuse to buy.
The worst by far was the one I've gotten a couple times now in the past few weeks. I wish I could tell you what it said, but my Spanish is rusty.
