Is Starbucks Passé? - Page 2

BDBopper · 07-01-2008, 07:01 PM

the last time I hit a SB was doing my Christmas shopping. Before then it was the previous November. I don't get out for Cofee too often so not much of a big loss for me...I brew my own.

I love Starbucks and I don't see it going anywhere. So long as man desires a good cup of coffee, Starbucks will be there.

I love Pete's, too, though nobody can make a better soy latte than SB. Nobody. Not me. And not you.

On the other hand, Pete's is good for iced coffee 'cause they make it fresh. And its strong, too. Real strong. Stronger than me. Stronger than you. Wanna fight about it I am right here.

Hmmph. That's what I thought.

Starbucks is for panty waists.
Real men hit the counter at Denny's in the wee small hours.

Remember Ships?
Ben Frank's?
Sambo's?

Our young friend is correct, McDonalds coffee is good. Real good.

Though not their iced coffees -- those suck.

I'm not a fan of iced coffee, but I have been told otherwise by some. YMMV

Sweet Caroline, I did it! My work has come its fruition and it is good. I think I am going to treat myself to something nice -- like an iced coffee from McDonalds, though I hear from the grapevine they're not too good.

What's odd is that the 600 stores that are closing are all within a 1 mile radius of each other. It's just an experiment to see what will happen.

Starbucks is a coffee place, not a trend - at least to me.

It'll be good to know if reducing density by 8% in that mile drops revenue significantly.
