yeah, no matter where you go; from the city streets, to the mountain tops, area 51, on the moon, there's a starbucks. There's no avoiding them. We're taking over the world.

 

Yes, I'm a Starbucks employee, and I love working there, because I get to hear people say the dumbest things.

 

If you've had any note-worthy starbucks moments, tell me about them.

 

Here's one for starters: A woman came in and ordered a grande iced latte. Instead of milk, she asked for HEAVY CREAM (5 grams of fat per teaspoon) she gets it in a Venti cup, asking for EXTRA whip cream. (200 or so calories in a standard whipcream serving, so this ended up being around double) She takes her drink, smiles and says (in the raunchiest southern accent) "you know, this has no carbs in it."

my one note-worthy starbucks moment was having to remorgage my house in order for me to afford a tasty choc muffin

Erm, i hardly ever walk in to starbucks, unless somebody spend me the drink :lol: :lol: So i basically have no note-worthy starbucks moments :embarrased: And hell yeah, i agreed, no matter where you go theres a starbucks around :stunned: , there are about erm 6 of them all the way from my home to my college, crazy! :idea2: :stunned:

We don't have starbucks,so I guess there won't be taking over the world very soon. :dozey: :lol:

i dont like coffee :dozey:

the ones in London are a hell of alot nicer than the ones we have here :rolleyes: :cool:

You guys should be thankful...

 

There's no Starbucks in Israel :embarrased:

We had three of them or so a few years ago but they shut down, apparently it wasn't doing too well, too much competition over here.

 

And I miss it loads... the ones in London are so damn nice indeed :D

 

*sighs*

 

I bloody want that Caramel Cream drink again!!!

Last year they opened the first Starbucks here, and now there are about 8 or 10.

I've been only once there but that Frappuccino was huge and delicious :D

I usually get my coffee-related products from a place that isn't so horrendously overpriced. :P

:smug: Here-here!

 

*Hides the fact she went to Starbucks a week ago* :glasses:

never been to starbucks, but there is a massive one near me

there isnt Starbucks in my city.....i think there isn't Starbucks in Brazil....

but, of course, we looooooove coffee

I think there's like one here, and I've never been to it.

*burns down Starbucks*

FYAR!! OH NOES

Chad :stunned:

Mmmm Starbucks :P

today i had a tall chai tea.

 

i enjoy starbucks, don't like the coffee but like all the other drinks. my fav is the caramel frap.

Frequently have Starbucks for breakfast when i'm not feeling poor. Tall no whip mocha and an apple and cinnamon muffin. They never should have discontinued the lemon and poppyseed muffin, and someone ought to tell them that cranberry and orange muffins taste nice all year round not just at Christmas.

I'm a Tim Hortons girl myself, but I do venture to a good ol' Starbucks once in a while. Your iced beverages are particularly good Chad, oh and the bottled Peach Tea. Yum yum.

Grande Iced Soy Chai Latte, or Soy Chai Cappuccino. Not crazy about coffee, but espresso bar drinks hit the spot every now and then.

 

Coffee, Tea, and most pastries are under $2 in my area, but I've seen some pretty bad prices in other areas. seven freakin bucks for a tall frap. insane.

 

I've been a small coffeehouse person myself as well, but when it comes to having a job, the benefits here are amazing. I didnt even care for Starbucks until I got a job there. Part-time workers get the full-time benefits: medical insurance, dental insurance, I can purchase stock with my 30% employee discount (which also applies to everything in the store), we get a free pound of coffee or box of tazo tea every week. And the 401k plan is what sealed the deal, whatever percentage of my paycheck that I move into my savings, Starbucks will match it up to 5%. In two years, one of the managers has made enough to pay for her wedding and honeymoon. in three more years she had enough to send her kids off to college. I get tips every week, which covers gas and then some. This is also the first job I've ever had with friendly co-workers. People bash it because its cool to bash starbucks, but to me its just coffee. My job makes me happy.

 

also, even though its summer, we have cranberry orange muffins! Check again! they might be back for good!

Wow! I want to get a job at Starbucks now. :stunned:

 

Also, I think this is one of the areas with outrageous prices (which is why I stay out of there, not because it's "cool" to do so :P ), but then again, most things are overpriced in urban areas.

my deli 'iced white choc mocca' makes me go :wacko:

when i went to chicago for a week i got hooked on the starbucks light carmel frappicino. so good.

Tom, i dont think I've ever been rude towards you before.
