People line up outside the orginial Starbucks in Seattle like their at the Sistine Chapel!
The only reason I loved going to the A & P was to stand by the cashiers and smell the fresh-ground coffee.
Telling younger people about that (coffee grinders at the end of every check-out aisle...) results in a head-tilt, "wha?" reaction. A little like describing decades of using a rotary phone with no such thing as a display, caller ID, nor even voice mail, nor answering machine. They marvel at our survival abilities...!
Who drinks that overpriced poser juice?
Some of my cow-irkers, otherwise smart people.
I never understood why so many people complain that Starbucks coffee is "burnt". To me, the coffee is simply very strong and black. For all the folks that complained about "burnt coffee", Starbucks brought out "blonde" coffee beans. This for the people that like weak coffee that thinks it's tea; the same sort of people that drink Michelob Ultra in place of beer.
Eh?
You are boycott, aren't you???
I always joke that people who regularly go to Starbucks don’t LIKE coffee.
I have always drunk it unsweetened and black and the orders I hear at Starbucks mystify me.
.
I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I have learned to make them myself! No Starbucks for me. Anyone else who wants to keep away from Starbucks but loves that drink, here’s how:
14 oz can of pumpkin, 1/2 c sugar, 1 T vanilla, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Stir it all up. Freeze in ice cube trays.
When you want the PSL, take a cube or two (depending on the size of the drink you want to make) and microwave 20 seconds to thaw. Heat milk then wish the milk and pumpkin in your cup until desired frothiness. Add expresso or strong coffee. Whipped cream optional. (OK, not really. I NEED that whipped cream on that drink!)
Now don’t drive through that Starbucks again for your PSL. Make it and save money AND don’t support this Hillary supporter.
I’ve only been in Starbucks twice in my life, both times dragged there by my daughter. Frankly, the coffee was awful. I like Honduran Cafe Oro. Their addition of ground sugar cane gives it a smooth non-bitter taste.
Now, however, I have the opportunity to pick coffee from my own trees of local Honduran species, process and dry the very best beans by hand, and roast them over my own fogón to my individual taste. Starbucks I don’t need.
They are anti-Second Amendment. So it’s no surprise.
Ever since I found that out. I have not been back, and refuse to do business with any company that is anti-2nd Amendment.
Do they pay above minimum wage to start at Fivebucks.
It tastes over-roasted to me.
Apparently a lot of people agree that it tastes burnt to them as well.
Give me a medium roast Papua New Guinea any day.
YMMV, ‘In maters of taste, there is no right or wrong.’
But do feel free to choose to put money in the pocket of an avowed Hillary!™ supporter, rather than a local mom & pop...
Who gives a sh!t about who the guy selling coffee is voting for. These people think they are too important.
The same people who give a sh!t that the founder of Chick-fil-A has an opinion about gays.
One more reason to never buy Starbucks coffee.
“”I would like a half-caf / half-decaf, skinny mochachito, with two Splendas, one raw sugar, medium soy froth, stirred, not shaken...with a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon.”
Is that a real order or a spoof from SNL? John Belushi would have loved this stuff.
Astonishing,isn’t it?
.
This left wing fool should have kept his mouth shut. But being a liberal elitist, this is no surprise. I quit patronizing Starbucks quite a while back due to this kind of crap and their ridiculous prices.
“I am so glad he helped me in this tough decision.”
So I take it that you take as “gospel” the words from Capo Jews?(s)
