Good. Their coffee tastes like shit.
SEATTLE (AP) — Starbucks (SBUX) says its profit dropped 97% in its fourth quarter mainly because of the costs of closing underperforming stores and also falling sales in the U.S.
Seattle-based Starbucks says profit fell to $5.4 million, or a penny a share, from $158.5 million, or 21 cents a share, a year earlier.
The coffee retailer says it earned 10 cents a share when the costs from closing stores in the U.S. and Australia are excluded.
Thomson Reuters says analysts expected profit of 13 cents a share and revenue of $2.58 billion.
Revenue rose 3% to $2.52 billion from $2.44 billion. Same-store sales dropped 8% in the U.S.

Good. Tired of seeing these damned abominations on every freakin' corner filled with Prius-driving hippies and goths sipping 15 dollar lattes. And they have the audacity to have a tip jar out there.
Pickin' beans only from the highest mountaintops my ass!

Their coffee taste like it's burnt to me. Fuck Starbucks!

Exactly! I read some time ago in a coffee blog that the burnt taste is there in an effort to disguise the overall poor quality of their beans.
Coffee is supposed to be a sweet drink anyways, not mouth-puckering bitter.

I bought a coffee there twice because I thought they just burnt the coffe the first time. No. Thats how shitty it tastes ALL the time but the lemmings like to sit outside the store and drink this slop because of what...I don't know.

I haven't seen the sales figures for Hawaii, but I think they have saturated the market. Too many stores. In some places there are about five stores in a six block radius.

Their coffee isn't TOO bad, but it's not too great, and the cost of it certainly isn't justified.
The morons who congregate around Starbuck's stores is a joke too, all the typical cocks you'd expect... hippies, know-it-all students, trendies etc.

I do not "get" Starbucks. Being from here, we have no coffee shops per se, too hot. First time an American friend took me to Starbucks I was like why are we sitting around drinking overpriced coffee for hours - are no bars open? >:(

To me their coffee tastes like mud.
