Speaking of Starbucks in Buffalo, they're on strike at one store, at least, because the store manager sucks and tried to force everyone to work after someone ODed in the bathroom near the end of the day. (The person made it to the hospital, at least.) It's the latest in a long line of issues with corporate and that manager, I guess

Lurker Ant posted:Dunkin is so much better in like every way. Better coffee, better sandwiches, they have donuts, and the lines aren't 50 miles long. Starbucks is made for the same people who only buy Apple tech. I remember when they were training us for our Starbucks jobs, they had us all blind taste-test different coffees basically in an effort to prove that Starbucks was best or something. Literally no one picked Starbucks, and all of us preferred the coffee that turned out to be Dunkin Donuts.

I got a black coffee from starbucks once. I ended up taking a sip and giving it to a homeless dude because he needed it more than me. When it comes to buying starbucks brand coffee in a grocery store it depends on where you go. A lot of grocery workers are treated pretty poorly too and deserve to have good labor action to help them as well. I know some chains and some regions have representation but a lot do not. Honestly, if we just had an NLRB that had actual teeth or a political class that had the will to actually help this type of worker things would be better and our economy would be stronger.

starbucks will helpfully begin charging $2/mo or something like that against your gift card balance if you don't use it for a year or two, so eventually that problem will go away (actually don't know if they still do this, i recall some consumer protection action threatened over various companies who did that, so maybe that's not allowed anymore. it did happen to me with a giftcard i got from extended family one christmas and decided to finally use one day several year later at an airport, to find out the balance was almost wiped out.)

Also the stuff they were serving in the lobby of the Wolcott Hotel in New York was surprisingly decent too.

Starbucks has completed its lifecycle and become the MacDonald's of coffee. Its only selling points are ubiquity and a consistent product.

I wish there was a way to have hot water apportioned over the grounds in a slow manner so that I wouldn't have to grind it, let it bloom, come back pour some water over it, check the bacon, pour some more water over it... etc., etc.

It makes a drat fine cup of coffee imo, definitely orders of magnitude better than a Mr Coffee.

The Tar-bucks (so clever) always makes me a better cup of tea than the actual free-standing Starbucks. Earl Grey, whole milk, three turbinado sugars.

Starbucks is pretty handy when I'm in the mood for an insanely sugary coffee desert but their actual coffee is mediocre at best

its weird that starbucks is popular in other countries. I mean, america has no ancient coffee tradition or whatever, so it makes sense that something like sbucks would take off here. But starbucks in mexico? cmon man.

I think I overdosed on a brick of expired Folgers instant after cutting it with a knife. I had some dairy based creamer left over for this experiment. Added some splenda and suugar a 50/50 mix. Boiled water on the stove and poured it into my tumbler. Mixing well. Prepare a huge big gulp thing with ice. Pour coffee into tht eice. Prepare Bleander and I guess more ice. Beware of frothe explosion destroying your blender.
