Re: Starsluts

I dont like starbucks coffee all that much, but one thing that is great is that they are consistent across the various stores. A latte will be the exact same at every single friggen starbucks you go. At other places, some times its too hot, to cold, to much foam etc. You dont' know what you are going it get until you get it.

Rather than change their logo, maybe they could increase gross profits by not competing with themselves. Here in Philly there is a starbucks literally every block and an half. The is one on all four corners of campus.

Or maybe they could offer at least one coffee that isn't "bold" or won't burn a hole in your stomach if you have more than one cup. Even their breakfast blend is too harsh. Give me dunkin donuts for an easy drinking cup of coffee any day.

like many companies do, that was one of the problems; expanding way too much and way too fast. Apparently they only have about 100 targeted as under performing. Guess they all must be doing OK otherwise.

The company had seen phenomenal growth under its old (and back again) CEO. Yes the stock has plummeted, but if you rode the tide up you should have been smart enough to dump it along the way.

I've only been in one twice in my life; once for breakfast food (now gone) and another because of a free card I had and now I have another one so make it one more trip or 2 there and that'll be all for I don't know...most of my life?

God trying to order there though if you're a rookie..good luck! It's like 20 questions...just give me a coffee damn it!

I'm proud to say Starbucks never really took off in Australia, but then again we know real coffee here!! Particularly in Melbourne.

Btw Miroslav, A good long black is one of the hardest coffees to get right.!!

They seem to be encroaching in to the city slowly and steadily? Was it the Swanston St store that was the first? And there's one in Lygon now, of all places? Remember seeing Starbucks in Melbourne the first time, and thinking man these guys have some guts, they're gonna have an uphill task getting Melbournians to drink Starbucks

I will concede your point Starbucks sometimes gets way too "dark" tasting for me. I don't want "light" tasting McDonald's style coffee, but those French and Italian roasts that just get to the point where they taste like something that was badly burned..

Re: Starsluts

boy some of you people really know how to misconstrue something. I am not a big fan of them. frankly i'd rather get some regular coffee, i can't taste a difference between the different roasts.

and don't worry mike. i'm not too sure about you either bro!

Re: Starsluts

I have nothing to add, just Starbucks sucks!

Seriously, been a coffee drinker for a damn long time and til this day I do not understand what the hell people like about their coffee. It is constantly over-roasted beans in a ridiculously burnt coffee...tastes so bad I can't even taste the coffee in it anymore. Yet they've managed to market themselves so damn brilliantly that people think there is no other. Screw em all, I'll take me some properly roasted coffee from a local brew any day. Better yet, I prefer to make my own

P.S. and as for the philly comment and them being every block or so, I could find two spots in nyc where they're literally across the street from themselves...are their customers that damn lazy?!

Yep, the mall closest to where I work has two in the same mall -- and not even that far from one another...

Re: Starsluts

I agree with all of those here that don't understand the big deal about Starbuck's Coffee products. It's not even good. You want some good drinks? Get your ass to a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Smokes the pants off of Starbuck's and they don't lie when they say they use Kona Coffee.

I can top that. I know of two corners where there are at least three Starbuck's locations on that damn corner lot. Insane. Shit. I'm thinking I may have seen four on one corner lot. That's the problem when there's a Starbuck's store, one in a Target and one in the grocery store. Fuckin' christ.
