What is this Starbucks of which you speak?
I have never been inside one nor do I have any interest in patronizing any in this lifetime or next.

I have Never had a Starbucks coffee. I have in-laws that own charter stock in Starbucks and the are the most liberal fucking people you will ever meet. I would feel as though I was putting money in their pockets and that would make me sick, fuck them!!!

Only reason I go to starbucks occasianlly is for a blended ice mocha Frappachino which I do really enjoy. I don't a give a hoot about if they don't want me concealed carrying either. I've never had anything other than that from the place for probably close to 15 years now. I've had other blended iced mochas and honestly they aren't nearly as good. I heard the regular coffee and other drinks are terrible though, I'm inclined to believe it probably is. I also can't stand the hipsters and trendy douche bags that frequent these stores either, so I just go to the ones inside of department stores. I think next time I might troll the place and see how they'd react HA!
I went into a Starbucks exactly once, about 15 years ago in NYC when the group I was with went there.
It reminded me of the trendy BS types I saw a lot of in Berkley, CA back in the 70's. Haven't been back since, and never will give them a dime going forward. Screw 'em.

I found out they were Antigun and there prices are outrageous. My wife likes their shit. We went shopping and my wife wanted to stop. She asked me what do you want. I said nothing I don't support them. She said why. I replied you know you do what you want. She bought me two cookies since I'm a sucker for desserts. I handed them to my son in front of her and said looks like your mom bought you 3 cookies have fun. Boy was she pissed.

They're doing it wrong. As was pointed out, you're paying them money.
Much better to say your name is "Hillary". Then when they "call it"...

Never had a cup of coffee in my 53 years but if I did, I wouldn't get it from there.

You and me both Doc. Never liked the taste of coffee. Almost never go to Starbucks and when I have I've only gotten an ice tea. I always make a point of saying small, medium or large and not the vente, grande elitist bullshit either. Though certainly not all, many of the baristas are snotty little POS too. One time after getting some attitude from the nose ring wearing punk I told him "You know that the Whale ate your corporate namesake, right?" Dude looked at me like I have three heads. I guess no one reads Melville anymore.

Yep, been doing that since the 80's. Although if you are looking for decent ground in a large can, the (Costco) Kirkland Signature Dark Roast Arabica is a good value.

Another "grinder" here.
Eight o'clock original bean gets me out of the house every morning.
Went to Starbucks once many years ago, and didn't really care for it. Tasted like roasted battery acid.
Plus, ain't my kind of crowd.

It can be hard to find sometimes.
I've gotten it at Amazon.com before when I couldn't find it.
Good stuff.

LOL, i went to a Starbuck in Pittsford once ( the rich section of Rochester) I was dressed in my carharts/construction. I walked up to the counter and this prissy little sixteen year old asked me what I wanted, I said, "ya got any regular coffee in here, you know, coffee, cream sugar" she gave me a cup of the worse POS coffee I ever had. It tasted burnt and bitter as hell, it really sucked.
I asked for more sugar, she got pissed?
Never went back, Bad coffee, bad attitude.

Frends of mine Dan and Zak Wells own Steadman Corners here locally. They are father and son master roasters master and will roast to order for me.
I grind and use a French Press every morning.

I brew coffee at home. Eff Starfucks. I aint no tree hugging little bitch. I buy dunkin donuts products (non coffee)
I've tried Starbucks once. Honestly? I'd rather drink Ho-Jo's coffee, or Tim Horton's, or even that black sludge that's been percolating in the front diff on my Jeep.
Starbucks can attract all the sensitive little flowers they want. The place has nothing I'm interested in.

WOW that's funny, I don't drink much coffee but the only one that did not upset my stomach or have acidly taste was eight o'clock. And yes can't get it now unless ordered off Amazon I think?
