got a free cup from Starbucks this morning cause the “bold” brew was just starting and barista thought it was a good courtesy service...

Certainly the federal government should step in and bail out Starbucks. It isn’t fair that those living in outstate Minnesota and other rural areas should be deprived of their latte. (sarcasm)

I admit, I used to be a Starbucks addict. I stopped when I realized the ridiculous amount of money I was spending. And on coffee! I’ll go once in a while now, but not too often. Although, here in Atlanta you’re probably only about a one minute drive from one.

If your favorite Starbucks is closing, you can even make coffee at home, and pretend you're the barista. Can I start a coffee beverage for me? Yes, I can. What would I like? Er, coffee. Do I want light roast, or the dark roast made from shade-grown fair-trade beans that were passed through the digestive system of a civet? Um, the first one. The Folgers.

It's not the same, but if you set four dollar bills on fire while you do it, it's close.

LOL. His sarcasm is of the highest quality.

I thought the Strib canned Lileks. They must have been forced to bring him back when they realized he is one of the few reasons half of their potential readership would ever pick up their paper.

[Incorrigible]

Hasta barista, baby

LOL!

Just as pathetic as the smug liberal in a fetal position around his Starbucks mug is the malcontent on the outside who hates the place, never goes in, obsesses over its customers, and revels in its failings. I don't get why some people care so much about businesses they "don't care about."

Friend don’t let friends drink Starbucks.

There’s three within walking distance of me: one in Target, one adjacent to the library, and one at an open-air mall.

There’s two in a hotel down in San Juan, Puerto Rico when I visited last year, the El San Juan.

It’s insane

Starbucks is like undiagnosed cancer, it just keeps spreading.

It's global warming's fault!

I hardly buy Starbucks myself too. Here in Houston there will still be a lot of them besides the fact that they have stands and sell it at Krogers, Randalls, and all the shopping centers.

Last Starbuck I was in - the server had pierce chin, nose and tatoos (and was dirty looking). Of course, the guy had a Gore 2000 bumper sticker of his Toyota truck.

I go to McDonalds - better coffee cheaper.

It’s Bush’s fault. Also global warming, or is it global cooling this month?
