Actually, a cup of coffee isn't $5.00 there. I believe it's under $2.00. It's the espresso drinks that cost more. I get a large iced americano & it's $3.13. That's the only thing I order there because I think their coffee or other drinks aren't great at all. They french roast their beans which is basically the worst roast you can do to a bean. For some reason, all the suburbanites out there think french roast=the best. They don't know their coffee at all.
I guess this elitist company doesn't think that they should offer some training for the trades. Perhaps send a barista to learn how to weld or swing a hammer.
Oh noooooooooo way. That's so beneath them...they are BARISTAS....
I don't think so. I find people who went to college and think that degree in Fine Arts qualifies them as an intellectual have a harder time dealing with society. It's their elitist and condescending attitude that really prohibits them from getting anywhere in life except with their fellow wannabees.
Exactly. The ceo was on The Daily Show last night trying to look like Mr Righteous. All I was thinking was how about paying them a living wage, and while you're at it stop dodging vast sums in tax. Hypocritical a55hole
He should have been asked why he's setting up Starbucks shops within grocery stores so that he can get money from EBT (tax supported Food Stamps) customers.
I saw this going on at my local grocery store and was just flabbergasted. The inside Starbucks just opened and people were lined up buying iced coffee drinks and cakes with their food stamp cards. I work full-time and can't afford their coffee, but my tax dollars are being spent in this way, supposedly for people who are hungry and "in need". If you think I'm kidding, Google about it.
My dad gifted me a Starbucks $50 gift card for Mother's Day. This thread is giving me a craving for an iced, soy latte. Yum! Think I'll be heading out after lunch.
