Got to hand it Starbucks, they’ve had a hell of a run… but I think the party is over. Starbucks is a classic example of failure to heed the ultmate advice: KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. The best thing that happened to them is that somebody has had the sense to slow down with the Starbucks coffee machines. What a stupid idea for an operation that already has fancy stores on ten inch centers, to the point where you can see another Starbucks store while sitting in a Starbucks store.
Can’t say that I’ve ever been in a Starbucks. I don’t go for fads very often. And lets face it, fancy, expensive, gourmet coffee is a fad.
Ah, but you have been in a casino and a book store which both had Starbucks in them. And as I recall, the best thing about having a Starbucks in the casino was being able to add shots of liquor to the brew.
Starbucks - LAX - Last Month - First Time
Was in a hurry and grabbed a $7.00 cup of that shit to take on the flight. Just got my statement and that pimple faced fuck put a $10.00 tip on for himself.

LOL! The kid figured you must be a sucker if you’ll pay $7 for a cup of coffee.
Buying expensive coffee from Starbucks is like buying premium gasoline when your car runs just fine on regular.
Starbucks is so over-roasted that it tastes like coffee brewed from charcoal briquettes. You can get a premium tasting coffee in plain old 8 o’clock columbian beans. Grind ‘em yourself right before you brew. $4 a pkg from meglo mart.
