    People that work at Starbucks are snotty. In downtown LA this morning, I went to get a coffe. The twit girl with two nose rings and sixteen tatoo's asked me what I wanted. I said 'One large coffee please'. She looked at me and said 'Oh, you mean a'Venti'.......... In my best Thurston Howell the III voice, I said 'Excuse me, a Venti please'.....She gave me that valley girl sigh and poured my coffee. While handing it to me, she turned the jar in my direction that read TIPS. Sorry, I just wanted to b!tch slap her!

    Whats with these employees?

    I don't have a tip jar on my desk! What is up with these companies allowing their staff to put out a tip jar? These jars piss me off.

    Pete,

    You should have said, "here's your tip, don't play with matches, stay in school, and be nice to your customers" and walk away.

    I laughed as soon as I saw the title. I used to go to starbucks every day before work for coffee and I refused to ever use their names for sizes. If I want a "big coffee", that's what I'm asking for.

    But i bet you $20 you will go right back to some Starbucks within the next 7 days and once again buy their utter crap. So quit your *****ing!

    Ok, now that i got that off my chest, Star-upchucks is one of the sh_tties cups of brown garbage sewer water you could buy. It is, like, LA dude. Like, fer sure fer sure there is a proper place that, like, ya know, serves a great cup of espresso/coffee SOMEWHERE. As a very serious espresso/cappuccino drinker (like being an audiophile), there is no way in hell i'd drink Star-upchuck coffee.

    But hey, you got what you paid for.

    Like Bose...

    (Nomex suit not needed for this post, you got EXACTLY what Starbucks is about and odds are you will go back there like a sheep to slaughter)

    I am too stupid to order ar Starbucks. I don't speak the language.
    Oh, and at the risk of needing Capt Obvious, their coffee suks, Dunkin Donuts is better.

    There are two stores I try very hard to avoid on principle.
    Starbucks and Walmart.

    I do real well at staying away from Walmart.
    When traveling, I sometimes use the airport Starbucks. Choices are limited and a man needs caffeine.
