yep...big non issue. I have only gone there 2 times. I make a very nice cup of coffee at home. And if I’m out on the road-ah... I have no problem with 7/11 coffee and any cup’a joe from anywhere...

The price of coffee has gone down a lot since last year. (Coffee futures)

As long as McDonalds doesn't raise their price, I'm okay.

Lots of people here don’t care for Starbucks. I rarely go there. Just Saying, Starbucks charges what the market will bear for not so great coffee. That’s their business model. They aren’t selling coffee as much as they are selling yuppies on the idea that Starbucks is for sophisticated enlightened people such as themselves.

No skin off my nose. They should charge $100 per cup and donate the proceeds to their favorite liberal queer causes.

Whatever happened with race discussions? Are we still supposed to go in Starbucks and debate Ferguson and Baltimore and Trayvon and all that???

Inflation? No, there’s NO inflation in the United States, says the Obama administration.

Anyone who pays Starbucks prices for a cup of coffee is a chump.

[Whatever happened with race discussions?]

If people would practice the GOLDEN RULE, race relations would be resolved. America is reaping what was sewn by kicking GOD out of the public schools.

“Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.” Matthew 7:12

If you disagreed, the barrister wrote “Racist” on your cup ;^)

I’ve seen Cafe du Monde at the store and wondered if it’s any good, just because the can is so charming. We buy whole bean coffee at Sam’s Club or Aldi so we aren’t really getting high end product, but it is freshly ground every time we make coffee.

Would Cafe du Monde be worth trying?

LOL...I don’t go into a Starbucks because I don’t like being around women that think I am wealthy or men that think I am cute....puts me in a bad mood.

On my 20 mile drive to work I pass 10 latte stands (only 2 of which are Starbucks and 2 are bikini barista joints), 4 recreational marijuana shops, and 9 bars.

In my 25 years of making that commute, I’ve never stopped at any of them.

What is a cup of joe at Starbucks now anyway; $25?

$5 for a modest plastic glass of crushed ice with some carmel flavoring? Sorry, no more Starbucks.

A coffee place I sometimes go to if someone else is paying.

If I’m paying, it’s Tim Horton.

You know who got some good-ass coffee? McDonald’s. That’s the only thing I’ll get there is their Vanilla Latte coffee. That stuff will wake a zombie up.
