Subject: For Starbucks Haters....

I found this funny, mostly made up of food service industry people bitch!ng about inconsistent hourly schedules, incompetent supervisors, and rude customers.
I worked in a restaruant as a dishwasher when I was 16, I determied from my short stint there that food service was not the career path I would want to go.   ::)Sorry people, but these are complaints you could make about any restaraunt, cafe, coffee shop, ice cream parlor, cafeteria, drive-in......

You could sue them because the coffee was too hot, like Kramer...lol

Starbucks is good stuff.  And they're everywhere!  They're taking over the world.

I love Starbucks!  Now, if I could only get the SB coffee I brew at home to taste as good as it does from the store ??? :P  Why is that?  Can somebody help me?  I buy their coffee, and it's good, but just not as good as theirs?

I don't care about Starbucks. They're like a virus. The best coffee in the world still comes from a nice little cafe in Lygon St, Melbourne.

I am waiting for Krispy Kreme to gain a foothold here though. They just opened their first Australian store in the outskirts of Sydney and on weekends it takes almost an hour to go through the drive-thru window. Well worth the wait though!

I've got 2 dozen sitting on my counter as I type.  Well, it WAS 2 dozen last night...closer to 1 now after the kids/hubby got to them ;D  If you can get them hot, mmmmmmmmmmm.

finally...someone else who doesn't care for starbucks.  i think it's pretty nasty coffee.  every time i've had it, it's tasted burnt...not strong or like it's a darker roast, just plain burnt.  same with the coffee beanery's stuff.  yuck!!

as for the krispy kremes...i wish there was a closer store so i could get them.  the closest one to here is about 2 hours away.  it stinks.   :'(

Yeah I hear they're good hot. But we live an hour's drive from the place, so they're not even warm by the time we get them home.

I don't like their coffee, only because I hate coffee.  I get frappaccinos there though, I don't think they taste much like coffee, they're just good.

I told my girlfriend about an hour ago that I didn't think there were any Starbucks in our neighborhood.  She informed that there were two right across the street from our high school.  I'm incredibly unobservant.
