I was just taken to my first Starbucks by some friends from work...(actually they made me go). Now coffee is just not my thing so I attempt to order one of those rasberry fruit drinks. So I go up to the register and say "I'll have a large tazberry". The pale as a ghost girl with geek glasses and dreadlocks stares at me confused and say's real snotty, "You mean a grande TazoBerry?" I felt like throwing my "Grande Tazoberry" at that bitch yuppie. Now I know why I never went to Starbucks, and never will again.

I got caught in the yuppiness of the whole Starbucks thing. I couldn't stay away from the caramel frap. My office usually ordered it so I didn't have to go down. Once, I was told to go down and I couldn't tell whether we usually get the tall, grande or whatever. But a friend came down and she ordered it while I just carried it back. She told the people in the office, especially when I managed to spill a good portion of it on my coat.

Starbucks is crap. I hate the stupid size naming convention, as you mentioned, as well as the fact that most of the frozen crap on the menu has more sugar than coffee in it. I prefer PJ's.

What's wrong with Starbucks? A coffee is a coffee... a drink is a drink. There's nothing worst than a yuppie who makes a big deal of going to starbucks, than some lame ass who makes a big deal on avoiding them.

<< paying $5 for a cup of coffee is the epitome of yuppiness >>



Whoa, $5 for a cup of coffee? Starbucks up here aren't even half that expensive, or at least the one on campus isn't (and most of the campus shops are overpriced).

guyver01:

not flaming you, but maybe if Barnes and Nobles took those BIG Starbucks signs out of their windows, people would stop asking for Starbucks(tm) brand coffees.

It happened to me once:

me: &quot;I'd like a grande caramel machiato&quot;
b&amp;n: *rolls eyes* &quot;we don't make those&quot;
me: &quot;oh, then why are there Starbuck signs out front?&quot;
b&amp;n: &quot;because we make our coffee with Starbucks beans...&quot;
me: &quot;oh, so in other words, B&amp;N is tricking people into thinking there's a Starbucks in this store in an attempt to increase sales.&quot;
b&amp;n: &quot;yeah, something like that.&quot;

LOL

Starbucks = sewer water.

I do have to drink it however sometimes as it is the nearest coffee shop that serves coffee in a Venti (tm) size.
