SEATTLE — Starbucks is closing the doors at its 7,100 stores across America for a brief barista re-education.
CEO Howard Schultz announced the 3-hour closure starting at 5:30 p.m. local time Tuesday to energize 135,000 employees.
He wants baristas to share their passion for making espresso, or as he says, "to pull the perfect shot, steam milk to order and customize their favorite beverage."
Schultz says it's part of his refocusing on the coffee customer experience.
Since the chairman returned as CEO in January he has been making changes to revive Starbucks' growth.

Maybe they can stop charging $10 a cup of coffee

I blame insulin.
Also, the depressed economy which resulted from borrowing 5 trillion dollars in 7 years to fund a series of elective wars for oil.

Joe, you've just joined the 67% of Americans who believe that to be the case.
Bush was told 6 weeks ahead of time and chose not to act.
Welcome to the majority :)

George W. closing starbucks via remote control!!

Oh brother!
in another 5 years, 90% of Americans will believe 911 was either assisted, or allowed to happen.
This comes as more and more people come fwd and more evidence is revealed. Early next year, they're declassifying a lot of info about what the White house knew ahead of time, and we'll have concrete evidence it was allowed to happen.
Will you still say "oh brother" rather than look at the facts?

biggest hype ever

Only fat girls and fags drink that shyt.

The funny thing is, you can't even order just 'coffee' anymore - you can order something like 'Triple Mocha swiss chocolate iced frappa low fat decaf Soya Mocchachino' and they'll actually understand and get you the thing. But say, "Can I get a cup of coffee please?" and next thing you know the girl's face goes totally blank like you just said something in an alien language that makes no sense ;D

Haha. Exactly. That's blasphemy. Any idiot can make a good cup of coffee, but you need a 'barista' to make those frou-frou concoctions they hock to attentions whores.
/oh, and don't forget to conspicuously tote around your 1 liter stainless mug to let everone know you're a member of the flock

What makes me shake my head is sometimes seeing some fags (they can't stay away from that place ::)) make a big fuss about how the cinnamon is not fresh or the damn Soy is not tangy and what not - Dude, you suck a dick when you feel like getting some. Stop complaining about how bad something tastes hahahaha

THEY are corner to corner in new york,

We are discussing Starbucks in a thread titled 'This sucks'. What'd you expect? ;D

I'm not surprised Joe is a Starbucks aficionado. He's just the type of frilly laced, high strung queer that wants to stick out and be one of the "it" crowd that frequents a shit hole like that. I know I get pumped thinking about shelling out $20 for a coffee and a bagel!

the only people i ever see go into starbucks are a bunch of hippy emo queers

Joe's contest pics show he's not very fat. Are you insinuating that he might be a purveyor of the penis, SS?

hahahahhaa, "barista's", oh brother. ::)

We leet carry an off-prime color enamel coffeeteen. It matches our designer kitchen.
This is the wrong thread for coffee confessions, but I actually like good coffee and espresso. What shits me off about chic coffee outlets is that the beans they sell are pretty ordinary. If I was in a major city I'm sure I could find some good beans. If I'm lucky some bucktoothed banjo player will figure out that there's a market for quality coffee in Bumfuck, Australia and he'll start selling it. Of course, he'd probably go out of business since most people here, and even restaurants, will proudly serve you FREEZEDRIED COFFEE. No lie. Savages.

Joe is the most delusional poster here, claims a 535 bench press raw at 181 bodyweight, claims to make hundreds of thousands of $$$ a year as a personal trainer, says a 4.5 40 yard dash and a 36 ich vertical leap aren't impressive, listens to every word Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity say as if it were gospel, oh brother. ::)

Anyone who pays a buck for a ten-cent cup of coffee is wacked in the head.
I might go into Starbucks with much younger family members once a year. They thrive on that stuff, but we all usually end up standing in line while some yippie chick orders some coffee mixtures that take 20 minutes to prepare.
Back in my day a great cup of coffee set me back a dime - and that included a sugar glazed doughnut.
And you told them the size you wanted by merely saying, "Small!" or "Large!". Now they expect you to know a foreign language.
Switch over to Green Tea! It's healthier!
Somewhat along this same line, I have heard that a $6 box of popcorn in the movie theaters costs two-cents to make. And ditto for a soda. Anyone got the facts?
And the theater owners have to pay 110% of the ticket sales to the movie distributors, so they have to count on the concession stand to make a daily profit.
Fact or fiction?

In all honesty, that sounds like most Getbiggers. Except they bench 800 at 181 pounds.

LOL. A cup of Joe and a sinker for a dime!? Was that when you were hoboing across America during the Depression. :D

Damn, you guys are harsh, I don't order coffee, if I ordered a coffee from there I might as well go to Ihop and order a full breakfast with eggs, bacon and pancakes......it would probably be less calories, Instead I just get a grande green tea (china green tips) and maybe a scone. Costs me less than 3 bucks with the scone and 1.85 for the tea.
