#3 Starbucks? Oh, you meant the place that's like a Barnes & Nobles sans books. I thought they was called Fourbucks. Basically what they try to sell a cup of that crap for.

FTR - I'm stationed in a college town now and refuse to buy the proletariat blend at the local trust fund java haus. I make my own stuff @ home w/my favorite dunkin' donuts - or go to the crappy circle-k if in a pinch & w/my buy 5 get one free card because I'm the eternal cheap-ass.

#4 One comedian said that the only reason that Starbucks is so popular is that people have very few decisions they can make these days. Starbucks is the only place where they can spend half an hour (and 5-7 bucks) deciding what size to get, how much foam they want, if they want a shot of flavoring, and on and on.

#5 FOX NEWS > tempor closure was to re-intruct workers on how to make Starbucks products???
CUSTOMER SERVICE? STORE SANITATION?

Truth be told, IMO some of stuff that goes on now [2007-8] in local Guam restaurants wouldn't had been tolerated when I was back in middle-high school, or even iff formerly employed there, and to include as recently as the 1990's. AT MINIMA, CREW/SHIFT CHIEFS TO STORE MANAGERS WOULD HAD BEEN CHEWED OUT IFF NOT PER SE FIRED, OR THREATENED WID FIRING UNLESS SHAPED UP. It may or may not be the same nowadays back on the US mainland???

D *** NGED "Y2K"!

#6 The real news is that last week Starbucks decided to change its business model and sell good coffee.

I guess selling over-priced crap to the ignorant masses only gets you so far.
