LOVE STARBUCKS!!!!
I'm a gift card carrying starbucks whore!!! But I like to mess around with the employees and I order incorrectly:
me: "medium espresso with steamed skim milk"
starbucks: "grande non-fat latte"
me: "that's right, medium espresso with steamed skim milk"
They don't like me very much.
I feel the same way Shelfie does about Wal-Mart!!!

REALLY??????????? How come?? 
I don't think we have Quizno's up here in the boonies, but I've heard they are yummier than Subway. |
Their prices are ridiculous. If I'm gonna lay out that kind of cash, it'll be for gourmet beans for my own house. That's one of my many ironies: I hate to spend $3 on a coffee, but think nothing of dropping $7 for a good pint. Plus it scares me that Starbucks is everywhere. And Bucks County has better coffee, hands down.

Actually, I'd have to agree with you on the regular coffee. I usually only get chai, latte/cappuccino type stuff there, BCC does have better variety, especially since I LOVE flavored coffee!! Their kona blend used to rock.....
Fubby about the beer/coffee thing too! This could be a topic for another thread......

Starbucks is rather pricey and not that great in my opinion, but I still go there on the caffeine deprived occasion why not, there are 2 at every intersection here 
I don't like Quizno's Elkiddio! I'll take Subway or Blimpie any day over those! Blimpie is okay but I lived across the street from one that accepted checks in college so I ate that ALOT. I'm a little burned out.

one of my favorite (locally owned) coffee shops has buttons and t-shirts that say 'Friends don't let Friends drink Starbucks'...sums it up pretty well i think...their coffee is vastly over-rated....

yeah but then the go and put some weird sauce or spice on it and then bake it. Too much. Everything is really complicated there. I just want turkey, some lettuce and a little mayo. Cold.

Cheryl! That's MY sandwich! 
I do like some Starbucks drinks. But I like to make fun of Starbucks, too. Did you read that Onion article on the Starbucks opening in the bathroom of another Starbucks? Tee-hee

 execpt I ate at Blimpies once. They just don't compare to Subway. |
I'll second that and add "Blimpies sucked."
