Will they sell skittles

They will have their own brand. $4 for a box with ten.

They don’t care if anyone goes to the Ferguson, MO Starbucks. What is important is that they maintain moral superiority over the rest of us. Building an unprofitable franchise location is the price of smugness.

The box will be brown with flakes and stamped to say it is made with fair trade recycled fibers.

$15.00 an hour or $30.00 an hour as wanted by U.S. Representative Gutierrez?

In the early days, Starbucks locations needed certain “cool” demographics.

Fast forward.

On a trip to Wyoming a few years ago, I posed the question to my wife: “I wonder if Cheyenne has a Starbucks?”

Sure enough, it had a couple or more. We stopped in one near the capitol, where we saw typical government staffers in their suits, and a guy dressed in all black, carrying on both hips.

I doubt anybody will open carry at Ferguson, but many will probably have their weapons hidden somewhere under their baggy clothes, etc.

The coffee is bad. The espresso is very good.

Just visualize a 12 block line of “ghetto cruisers” waiting to go through the drive through while protesters are out front racists offerings like “latte negro” (aka black coffee).

Dilbert-—it was first of all the most classically misguided guilty Liberal kind of move, and ill-considered in all its particulars,since Schultz was counting on customers who would be OK with the discussion,rather than just getting their drink and sitting down, with the Baristas themselves the probably unwilling vehicles for said discussions-—who would want to complicate this kind of cut-and-dried transaction with all that BS?

Al Sharpton. Lets face it, the only person drinking here is Al Sharpton.

And he’s going to try to walk out without paying.

“Cumberland Farms for coffee. 99 cents any size”

Great coffee too, unlike that bitter, overpriced robusta sold at Starbux.
