Starbucks: Who Pooped in the Bread Basket?

Starbucks: Who Pooped in the Bread Basket?

Somebody thought “Let’s open more stores
so people don’t have to stand in line.” But
instead they should have added more easy
chairs, because nobody likes to drink alone.

“I’m so spoiled. I must have a Starbucks vanilla latte
every day. Otherwise, it’s going to be a bad day.
I also love Jelly Bellies. But that’s bad. Don’t tell my mom.”

Quotation from Katie Holmes

“Starbucks says they are going to start putting religious quotes
on cups. The very first one will say, ‘Jesus! This cup is expensive!’”

Quotation from Conan O’Brien

    this is a true sign of decadence… now I will have to walk more than 50 mts before finding my coffee… Absurd!

    I don’t drink coffee at all, so I won’t have to worry about it…:-) But there’s no starbucks here in Denmark (neither in Brazil, as far as I’m concerned).

    Opening more stores so people do not have to wait is line is sort of like advertising two or more Santa’s at Christmas time. “Two Santa’s No waiting”.

    Sorry that was an old joke.

    Keep up the good work here in your blog Seraphine.

    I found it very difficult to just get past the title of this blog post. ;)

    I wonder if I’ll notice any Starbucks closures? Seeing as how I live and work in the area of their headquarters, can I just say that it is hard to turn around here without bumping into another Starbucks location. At work right now, there is a Starbucks on three of the corners of the intersection outside this office building. That seems like a bit of saturation to me, but then I suppose with a thousand office workers in each building, they do seem to do good business, at least in the mornings…

    I am thinking that those individuals who need coffee in the morning to get their bowels moving will be heavy hit (no pun intended) by the lack of that perfect cocktail form SB.
    ON another note, I thing the proliferation of SB has now set into cannibalism of the same market. reminds me of greed. But I am still guilty of a drink or two from SB.

    Dose a “I’ll make my own” attitude towards Starbucks $5.00 a cup coffee date me ?

    They do have nice clean bathrooms though.

    I’ve never understood what is so special about Starbucks. It’s not that their coffee sucks, it just doesn’t taste any better than the cup I can get at Sheetz for $1.29

    I really stopped buying Starbucks coffee when I figured out that everything cup of coffee they serve has a 400% mark up. Their employees are poorly paid, but they have some fantastic people that will be out of work. For them, I hurt.

    There is even worse the Starbucks in Canada: Tim Hortons. Frankly, I’m surprised there is no Timmies in my kitchen yet. They are on every block.

    Compared to Tim Hortons, Starbucks seems like an original coffee shop.
