    Ouch! More Starbuck's closings! NoNooOoO!

    Hi!
    Ouch. Starbuck's to close an additional 600 stores:

    Now where I am suppose to go for my triple expresso nonfat soy latte no foam????

    <LOL>

    Oh..I'm bad.

    Note to Schultz: I like your coffee. It is not worth $4.00/cup, though.

    >>Dern. I'm going to have to get one of those normal expresso maker things. I've about wore out my microwave expresso maker.

    Bout time. There are too many in my city it's stupid. Every road you're bound to find either Starbucks, or a Costa. I think Subway should start closing some down too, way too many. (600 in the US doesn't seem alot)

    Oh ----! Less Starbucks? But how will I get my fix of overpriced coffee?
    Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend.

    Starbucks!

    I LOVE the Raspberry Frappucino, it's delicious! To be honest, submit a complaint about your local store, fake or real and they send you 4 FREE DRINK COUPONS !

    Bryon, try Carribou Coffee. Prices are similar to Starbucks, but I think the quality is far superior. Even the wife prefers Carribou over Starbucks, and she's a Starbucks Stockholder. o.O

    Really? I'll have to try that.


    Starbucks sucks though. Have you ordered a tall lately? It's like the little cup that comes with pepto. I'm not paying 4.00 so I can burn my tongue slightly. I can buy a whole thing of coffee for that price, and mix in all the delicious crap.


    I really want some starbucks now.

    ah shucks, to bad. oh wait, i could care less. Starbucks is overpriced crap. they burn their coffee beans to make preserve them longer, making thee coffee taste burnt. yum yum. i would rather have a cup of Foldgers breakfast blend any day over the Starbucks. good riddance. sucks for employees though.

    To be fair though, I can't see how they even call it coffee. Adding marshmellows and stuff doesn't make it coffee. I'm not even sure if they sell a normal real coffee. I like Chocolate Moca's though, yummy.

    I prefer Costa though, way way more.
