#Dump Starbucks

Think I have been in 1-2 of their stores many years ago but won't be going again. Culture at the top leads to this.

Been in only a few times.

Coffee not that impressive, not worth the hype.

Sad that it's a culture that vilifies cops and paints criminals as victims.

Sad really. Cops deserve respect, the work they do is so difficult.

Will that dipchit be fired?

Will there be mandatory sensitivity training?

Will the cops be compensated?

I'm offended by overpriced, bitter coffee. The world is my safe space. I demand Starbucks be ejected

Never cared for their coffee. Weโ€™re fortunate in that the Saurage Family who owns Community Coffee are locals. Years ago they opened a CC Coffeehouse which is a direct competitor and over time it has become a very prolific franchise. The coffee is much better in my opinion and they get a huge thumbs up for their non-partisanship

I had a coffee at Starbucks once and thought it was awful. Had a lot of Dunkin Donuts coffee and didn't think it was any good either. Haven't had any more DD in years since I stopping working that part time job where it was the only coffee available. People work at these places and people often make mistakes. It will happen from time to time and people that hear about it will get upset.

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.

There it is. Charbucks. Been calling them that for years. Way way over roasted. Dare I say "burnt"?

As to my women, like my coffee, I like them strong and bitter. While it doesn't always start out like that, it always finishes that way.

Like I needed another reason not to go to a Starburnt. I don't care for their coffee or their politics/corporate culture.

I normally drink plain black coffee I roast. Out on the road, if I need a little caffeine and sugar, Strburnt makes bottled coffee drinks sold in quick stops that not too bad.

I grew up on Starbucks... Used to be better, but still consistently good... Always know what you'll get.... And vastly superior to Dunkin donuts
