4. Every time I order a ...[text shortened]... cup.
10. They now have the in Safeway supermarkets…another prong on the axis of culinary evil.

10 reasons Starbucks works as a business model

1. People love to conform to their standard, by ordering a “venti”, “tall” or “grande” coffee.
2. There’s now a Starbucks on just about every street corner. They’ve closed down just about all of the little coffee shops with any charm and character.
3. People are willing to pay $2.50 for a cup of coffee.
4. Every time someone orders a cup of coffee they try to cross-sell some kind of “heavenly fudgie delight bar” or something like that.
5. People like their coffee to be hotter than the sun.
6. They tell people what kind of lame music to listen too. People like to be told what to listen to.
7. Their employees live the brand. If a customer asks for 'Large', they will be asked "You mean 'Venti'?".
8. People like getting fat.
9. People like strong coffee.
10. They are expanding their prescence into other retail outlets to capture a larger market share.

"Some think me mad, aye, Starbuck does" Ahab, Moby Dick

I like Starbucks, but prefer Cravens, Domi, and other local roasters. Starbucks is 280 miles away. Still, I enjoy the occasional free pound from my brother's boyfriend, who works at Starbucks. (Don't tell him I bought a machiatto at Tully's).

Nobody understands coffee. The quality of coffee increases with caffeine content; that's all. If you dissolve a Pro-Plus in your coffee, you have improved it. If you buy decaf, you've bought rubbish coffee.

Don't put things in your coffee unless you drink enough of it so that your stomach will be damaged if you don't.

Given these two points, it is stupid to pay large amounts for coffee, but when something like a Starbuck's is all that's available, go there because that is better than not drinking coffee.

Actually, tall ones are $2.60, grande ones are $3.00.
Not everything here is expensive. Litres of vodka (or Wild Turkey 50😵 for $15.00, and tabs are less than $2.60...

There's a street in Houston Texas with a Starbuck's across the street from a Starbuck's.

If Jesus were in New Jersey, he would turn water into coffee, and it would be more hip than Star-Schmucks. He'd probably do this in the arcade where his daddy went to play skeeball.
