It should be reported as a "Gay Shame" event.

A buddy of mine is in Freiburg, Germany going to school, says the Starbucks is identical except for the prices are in Euros.

Starbuck was the flim-flam man in a play called the Rainmaker.

Not only is Starbucks sponsoring "Pride" week, but an event that places innocent children in the middle of sexually explicit materials ... and registered child molesters will be there running the show? If Starbucks is doing this knowingly, it is blatant irresponsibility

"Irresponsibility" is putting it mildly.

Yes, I started as a Starbucks coffee snob, but I am very open-minded now – if you know any good coffee houses, please let me know!

She can come over and pay me 5 bucks and I'll make her coffee. It'd be more of a "coffee apartment" and if she notices I'll charge her 7 bucks and feed her something about ambiance and the exclusiveness of the location.

Safeway Cappuchino blend, fresh ground, with whipping cream and Splenda -better than anything Starbucks can make, and one bag of the Safeway blend is less than two latte's at Starbucks. Invest in a good coffee maker and grinder, a cappuchino machine, and freeze your coffee - you'll save a ton of money, and it'll taste better. Costco sells Bay Blend, which is acceptable too (but tends to go stale in the warehouse). Find coffee that's sold frozen, that's the freshest, you won't believe how much better truly fresh beans are. My brother owns a small coffee company, out of Anchorage (Silverhook), and learned from him what **good** coffee is.

I make a pot in the morning, fill the thermos for work, and I'm good to go.

Starbucks coffee is typically stale, overpriced, and you're supporting liberal whackjobs. 'Nuff said.

Starbucks = Ratsbucks

I like Dairy Queens Moo-Lattes. Stupid name, but they are tasty. Was never a fan of StarBucks. Too expensive. Their products are worth, at most, half of what they charge. It doesn't matter to me that I can afford it, I don't like being ripped off on principle.

I've never been in a Starbucks. I am an at home Folgers type of person myself. Plus, I like the ambiance here.

Starbucks coffee is awful, IMO.

[Huck]

Admittedly, I am one of those who don't

No, you are one of those who doesn't. But hey, why should a writer be able to match a subject and verb? What's that got to do with writing?

Starbucks sells more milk than coffee.

[brushcop]

What else did you expect from a "yuppie, intellectual" atmosphere and overpriced coffee? I knew we were in trouble when people started buying small bottled water.

At one refill-your-own bottled water machine in town, I traced where the water line was hooked up, which was to the stores regular water supply. "But it's the filter system" he explained, I just laughed and left. I have filter systems at home. I guess it's the pretty pictures of the babbling brook on a hot day that sells that stuff.

About 75 Starbucks employees will march in the parade and will wear T-shirts in rainbow colors with the word "PRIDE" on the front.

Wear a tee with "SHAME ON U" printed in nice necrotic colors.

I dont know if I can give up my venti green tea frappucino w/cream. Seriously.

[Jaysun]

Starbucks is a terrible establishment. Sooner or later, everyone's going to wake up to the fact that standing in line for thirty minutes to purchase an eight dollar cup of java is insane.

Oh, and we should take stun guns to people who use more than six words to order their coffee.

[TheBigB]

I hate coffee, no matter where it comes from. But if she's really concerned about Starbucks as a corporate entity, maybe she should consider that 96% of the HOOTERS corporate contributions go to the GOP. :o)

That's why I go there...

[Jaded]

I'm a great fan of triple-venti-white-chocolate mocha. I realized that it was waaaay to expensive. If I could only find the white chocolate syrup I would never darken the door of another Starbucks. Or just quit drinking coffee.
