I believe they are :mad:
They also purchase much of their coffee from Ethiopia, where entire families work long grueling hours out in the hot sun each day, and make less than the price of a medium coffee.

there's a lot of info out there now about how caffene is one of the most addictive drugs around, and people don't realize it. I don't really think its a conspiracy, but I think starbucks is like McDonalds on a smaller scale... say what you want, but I hate those places.

What pisses me off is their "grande," "venti," and "tall" bullshit. If I want a fucking medium, I'm going to ask for a fucking medium. The weenie behind the counter will invariably roll his/her eyes and say "grande."
Trying to interject their proprietary terminology into American culture is appalling. So, you know what? Fuck you. I abso-fucking-lutely refuse to say "grande."

Medium, Black, maybe with cream and/or sugar on the side.
No need to get more complicated than that.
And no need to pay an arm and a leg for it either. Fuck Starbucks.

I use to work at Starbucks and this is funny to me. I like how you call us "weenies." Ahh, the good ol days of working at the StarBuck! Shit though, maybe yall are right. Starbucks like all of a sudden blew up and now is like one of the largest coffee chains in the world. They even got their own ice cream now!

1) Caffeine is not one of the most addictive drugs.
2) Starbucks is the world's biggest purchaser of fair-trade coffee - it isn't them driving the starving ethiopian industry.
3) If you want to hate them, hate their business practices. They have a pretty shady history of monopolizing markets unethically and driving out private coffee shops.

Mom & Pop coffee shops don't seem to do very well even without the competition.

Everytime I drink something from Starbucks, it starts to taste kidnda metal-ish and tangy. And they're fucking EVERYWHERE. There's five on one street... I reckon it's so that when you lose the caffeine hit, OH WOW there's another Starbucks right in front of you! And more than one in the same mall... Christ.

Fuck them both, you are better than that sister... I stopped shopping at Mal-Wart years ago and don't miss any of that cheap crap. Whenever one of my friends drags me in there with them I fill up a grocery cart full of stuff from all over the store and leave it there....

You aren't rebelling against a corporation. You're making extra work for some acne-faced sixteen year-old kid.
Morally, you're worse than Wal-Mart. Malice is worse than greed.

Haha. I love those videos. I actually work at Caribou Coffee, which is a growing competitor of Starbucks in the midwest. I never knew what people meant when they ordered "tall", "grande", and "ven-tee"! I always thought "grande" was supposed to mean large! Oops, probly rang up some unhappy customers. I really feel awful serving people these drinks too. They are all overloaded with sugary syrup, called "flavor shots", and sometimes I leave out those ingredients because my conscience just can't handle it. I actually refuse to drink most of the drinks I serve to people too! Hypocritical? Maybe, but I gotta make money somehow.
