Starbucks

People who think that Starbucks makes good coffee have never had anything close to real coffee.

 

Friend: What did you do in Paris Mr. Mojo?

Mr. Mojo: Oh I went to Starbucks

Friend: Oh how unique.

 

I have a Bialetti, a pound of Pilon, some stevia, several vials of assorted natural flavoring extracts, a full library of Devendra Banhart, Fiona Apple, Paul McCartney CDs and wifi at home. Starbucks offers me nothing that I don't already have. Fuck 'em.

 

I hate coffee. But I do love Italian Sodas and visit coffee shops for that specifically. I've only found one coffee shop that makes them right (well, in my holier-than-thou opinion, anyway ) and they've since closed. But if any of you has a Hastings bookstore, DO NOT waste your money on their Italian Sodas...it's like 3 and a half dollars for just carbonated Koolaid. Fuck that.

 

You lot are all mad. You need nearly boiling water to make the tea infuse properly. You can always add it to the milk after, or just wait until it has cooled down a little if you are really bothered about scalding the milk.

When I make chai, I boil the tea with the water, then I add the milk and simmer it for a bit longer. I've never noticed any difference in the quality of the milk.

 

Milk + Tea = Major British FAIL

 

Starbucks in Paris, huh? Americans are turning the French into faggots.

 

Dude, we weren't really a country until 1782... too late.

 

Yeah, but you gotta admit Starbucks is kind of faggy. I'll give the founding fathers their manly men credentials- but these free market guys are all fags.

 

No doubt. But the French invented faggy. So in essence it's their fault like everything else.

 

They really didn't. Y'all partially owe your country's independence to them, anyways. The British invented faggy- WITHOUT A DOUBT. Them free market, Aristocratic bullshitters.

 

No, they adopted it early on in the Napoleonic Wars as a stealth mechanism. Still French.

 

What??

See, this is what I'm talking about. You're a part of the anglophile faggy american tradition, sir. Shame on you!

Twist history every which way because...what? Prince Charles is kinda cute?

Benjamin Franklin is TURNING IN HIS GRAVE.

 

Dude, it's me. I'm not smart enough to make this shit up...

 

haha, I agree.

And with the whole dramatic Starbucks story. I do agree its overpriced and the whole thing with the names of the sizes is a bit ridiculous.

But if I go somewhere and want a cup of tea, I'll tell them what kind of tea I want and wouldnt be bothered if someone asks me what kind is it that I want when I say "tea", since there are so many and someone trying to make sure that I get what Im looking for wouldnt annoy me. Same with asking what size do you want, "normal", means a lot of different things to different people. The tall is normal to me too, but people who have a Grande everyday will think it's small. Smart people would ask for their full cup of tea and pour the desired amount out to put milk in (which shouldnt be done in the first place), instead of letting someone else figure out how much space they need for milk, because again someone might like a little bit, someone might like a lot.

The guy was just doing his job. He doesnt name the sizes, he doesnt decide how much they cost. He is just a server.

 

We don't even have Starbucks here.
But somehow I don't think we're missing out on something special.

 

I approve this message

 

... interesting opinion, from someone who comes from a country that doesn't know how to make cheese or beer.

 

Who on Earth thinks that?!
Y'know they had two kids, right?

I am disappointed. :toetap05:

 

MY GIRL.
