I work for starbucks and those who tell you that starbucks is taking over well yea so local cofee shops dont give full medical to employees who work 20 hours or more starbucks was the first large company to ever do that I have a 1 1/2 year old son if I had not had those benifets then I dont know how I would of paid for my sons birth. I have friends who work for other coffe companies and when I tell them all the perks about working for starbucks they want to quite thier local places and work for starbucks

DOWN WITH STARSCHMUCKS!!!
so that you dont remain ignorant how about I educate you. a cup of coffee at starbucks say a grande 16 ounce is 1.72 after tax I live in washington state. Starbucks only uses the best Beans. but they pay above market prices to the farmers so if you want cheap coffee where large corperations take advantage of the coffee growers and make it so that they cant survive off what they give them for thier beans buy coffee some where else also starbucks is a great company to work for. they build schools create clean water development projects in the comunities where they grow coffee open up hospitals. that all takes money. but guess what they dont brag about it so thats probably why you have never heard about it. and to get a drink that is over 5 dolars buddy you have to add alot of stuff. the people behing the counter have to do all that work just like a bartender how much do you pay for a spectialy alchaolic drink and usually those drinks take less work then what we are creatin and less time say if I wanted to make a triple ristreto venti 7 pump sugar free vanila 180 soy three equal extra foamy carmale machiato. I know how to make that if its just a cup of cofee you tell me how to make that. it takes skilll and if you think I should get paid bairly anything so you can save a dollar than maybe you can pay for my salt water aquarium. how many companies do you know that give partime workers full medical benifets at a resonable price. people like you frustrait me. you can only see from your point of view people are orderin a specialty drink that takes time and money to make. the machines that we use alon are over $20,000 dolars they take alot of money to maintain. and even just a cup of coffee as you call it cost a good amount of money starbucks brews fresh batches of cofee every houur to ensure that your cup of coffee is fresh at a comapy I used to work at would use the same coffee until it ran out even if that ment it was 5 hours old. and if you dont like the taste of the starbucks blends you have had try verona its a starbucks blend that isnt as sharpe and dark as others

did any of you hear about the guy that's visiting every starbucks in the US? He's planning on going foreign too. At the rate starbucks is expanding, though, he'll never visit every one, because there's new ones being opened every day...

I’m not a big Starbucks fan (I think I make better coffee at home) but when I am out of town I do go there for Coffee because I know what I can expect (they have pretty good quality control). I have no problems with their pricing; I think $1.80 for a medium cup of coffee is reasonable. Then again, I live in the Chicago area and when the wife and I go to the city for a night we usually spend upwards of $5.00 for a beer and $5.00-$10.00 for mixed drinks. When you compare it to what you spend on other beverages it’s pricing is in line.
I’d rather have 5 Starbucks in a 10 mile radius around my house then 5 Mc Donalds (or as like to call it, Crap Donalds).

I actually dont drink starbucks. I am a senior in high school, and every morning as i am walking onto campus i see fields of starbucks cups on the pavement. Its crazy!
On my way to school, i drive by at least 4-5 starbucks, and there are lines out the door!
The closest starbucks to my school is about 100 yards away from the parking lot, and kids walk over all day long to get this stuff. The line is always a 20-30 minute wait.(some of my friends like it, and i go and hang out with them)
They are overprised, their coffee is disgusting, and like my mom says "Coffee stunts your growth!"

It is not a valid comparison between a Bar and Starbucks. Starbucks does not have to carry the insurance that a place that serves alcohol! They pretty much can and do serve anybody that walks up to the counter. Bars can't! It is a sad state of affairs when a 12yo can't make it through the day w/o Starbucks! But yet its very convenient that they perpetuate their own biz for years to come.
Couldn't it be also argued that the reason that Starbucks pays more for the best beans is simply to monopolize the market? Also could it be that their profit margins are such that all the benes' and things they do are to avoid major taxes.
With the buying power that Starbucks has they are making more money then they know what to do with. As far as the machines go I'll bet thats what they list for $20,000 but I doubt that is what the company pays for them.
And besides all that what about the small bizs that Starbucks has made close their doors!
Starbuck is a major corp, just like mirosoft walmart etc etc. Their are designed to make money which they do. But Starbucks perpetuates a habit to both young and old with out any type of regulation!

And as mitzel said making coffee is not rocket science, the $20,000 machine you talk about does everything for you except over charge the cutomer and take the money... i have heard of alot of things in my day, but people who get called by a name that makes em sound more than they really are take the cake...

making a pot of coffee is not science nor is making specialty drinks but thier are skills that are required and it is not as easy as everyone thinks. Ive done many different types of jobs starbucks isnt the hardest job but thier are alot of things to rember and alot of skill you need. I have seen many times where people came to work for starbucks not realising what type of job it is and what you have to do and they end up quiting in a few days saying wow this is alot harder than I thought. If it was just a cup of coffee than why would people pay what they pay. Ruraround I bet your the type of person who cant tell the difference between a $5 bottle of wine and a $50 bottle and thats alright. somebody needs to buy the cheap crap and your that clientel. But for those who have a little more culture and understand the difference thats why thier are $50 dollar bottle of wines. and its not your fault that you cant tell the difference its probably your background and the way you where raised but luckly for you. You have a Girlfriend who can interduce you too some culture and the finer things.
Also to the comment from turningtim the History chanel has a special on coffee you should watch. thier are two different types of coffee beans robusto and aribica beans the aribica is a finer bean but they grow in the higher elevation rubusto is a tastless bean and is of lower quality. now America Used soly aribica beans until the 1940's when thier was a shift and the companis like foldgers and maxwell house realised they could substitue pobusto beans in with the aribica slowly but surly they deluted the finer bean down with the cheaper bean until they no longer had aribica beans in the coffee. now you could still get aribica beans but they became extremelyy expensive. mostly the only places you could fine the beter wuality bean was in upscale coffee houses. Because they wher being less imported byy the main coffee companies they became a precious comonity (no Joke) Unitl in the early 70's when alot of different coffee companies sprung up starbucks was one of them 1971. In europe and abroad aribica was the standard bean they would not dare touch the lower quality robusto and they looked at americans as though they drank the swill of coffee. now howard shultz Founder of starbucks decided to bring to seattle what the rest of the world had quality coffee drinks now this cost alot of money but he had a vision. From the begining stabucks made sxure it had fair trade practices now not all coffee starbucks is certifdied fai trade because it cost alot of money to certified but basicly all of it is. The fact that starbucks was willing to actually pay farmers a fair pay for thier coffee ensured they would get top quality. they where doing this befor they where a corperation. They had no image to uphold because they where not on the scene yet but the ethics and vision stayed with the company and it grew and grew and grew. I dont agree with all that starbucks does but fo a large company I am suprised on how good they are.
Any company has the capabilty of beiing corrup no matter how big or how small mom and pop shops can be just as bad they are just not in the media. People tend to see any coperation as evil but when you look at starbucks track record you well see quite the contray. Also when your argument is that its so they dont have to pay taxes is why they do certain things or they buy the beter beans at a resanoble price from the farmers is because they are trying to creat a monopoly. pretty much implys when people do good things they only do it for their own benifets who are you yto cast judgment on a company than you really dont know what thier intentions are. Turning Tim maybe thats how you are when you do good things its only about what you get in return but not every one is like that. with your attitude acompany is darned if they do darned if they dont. I pitty you I truly Pitty you

Funny you should mention wine 37g... I am currently in the process of starting a fine wine and tobacco shop... and you are correct that there is a difference between a $5.00 bottle of MD 20/20 and a bottle of $500.00 of Shafer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon...and I'm sure you can tell me the difference between Shiraz and Syrah...or maybe ReddiWhip or Land o' Lakes whip in a can is more up your alley...
The diference is that people don't add all sorts of flavorings, sugar, milk, cream or dip a biscotti in wine. If I'm going to add all of that stuff, I will go to 7-11 and pay .79 for a cup of coffee then choose from one of the wonderful additives provided for me at no extra cost...
I am on my way to starschmucks to buy a nice 2006 Grande Machiatto Quad shot with whip and put it on that auction site too see how much I can get for it...

Ive done many different types of jobs starbucks isnt the hardest job but thier are alot of things to rember and alot of skill you need. I have seen many times where people came to work for starbucks not realising what type of job it is and what you have to do and they end up quiting in a few days saying wow this is alot harder than I thought. If it was just a cup of coffee than why would people pay what they pay. Ruraround I bet your the type of person who cant tell the difference between a $5 bottle of wine and a $50 bottle and thats alright. somebody needs to buy the cheap crap and your that clientel. But for those who have a little more culture and understand the difference thats why thier are $50 dollar bottle of wines. and its not your fault that you cant tell the difference its probably your background and the way you where raised but luckly for you. You have a Girlfriend who can interduce you too some culture and the finer things.
Funny you should mention wine 37g... I am currently in the process of starting a fine wine and tobacco shop... and you are correct that there is a difference between a $5.00 bottle of MD 20/20 and a bottle of $500.00 of Shafer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon...and I'm sure you can tell me the difference between Shiraz and Syrah...or maybe ReddiWhip or Land o' Lakes whip in a can is more up your alley...
The diference is that people don't add all sorts of flavorings, sugar, milk, cream or dip a biscotti in wine. If I'm going to add all of that stuff, I will go to 7-11 and pay .79 for a cup of coffee then choose from one of the wonderful additives provided for me at no extra cost...
I am on my way to starschmucks to buy a nice 2006 Grande Machiatto Quad shot with whip and put it on that auction site too see how much I can get for it...

I've never really understood the ire Starbuck's seems to attract.
Capitalism works... if people want to spend $4 for coffee where is the harm?

ruaround I clearly misjudged you. my apologies. and to your quetions about wines. Shirazishas has a rich plummy and spicy nose. The palate is soft and easy with lovely ripe berry flavours and a long finish. This wine deserves food with a touch of spice such as lemon pepered chicken Or cat fish which is my prefered dish now onto Syrah it is a very dark wine that primarly grows in france has a chewy texture and taste to me to be more spicy than fruity. My wife likes this wine alot it has a very strong alchol taste to it also. I admit I dont know what the perfect pairing is with it but I love it with ravioli with alfredo sauce or smoked salmon wich I feel brings out a smokey taste
I dont mind 7 eleven coffee but I do perfer starbucks.

Well thats all great but I Myself care for the Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2000 .I find the inky ruby/purple-colored 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is powerfully concentrated...medium to full-bodied Cabernet possessing outstanding fruit and aromatics as well as suppleness, and a sweet, low acid finish, it is more developed and forward than other Hillside Select offerings.
But of course I drink mine out of a paper bag with my cheese burgers
