Re: Starbucks Alert
I have to admit, the Jack in the Box coffee is a robust and very hearty coffee but not too acidic. It the perfect after dinner coffee to drink.

I'd rather get on my iPhone and order a drink. So how do you talk Starbucks? What's a venti? When I go into a SB I just tell them I want a cup of their house blend. They look at me as if I need to tell them more, so I look at them and say, "How much?"
Now does anyone know what brand of coffee Jack in the Box uses?

When at SB, I'll order a chai latte. Ooh-wee is that thing tasty.

Re: Starbucks Alert
Funny as I've always looked at Starbucks as the eclectic place to get a cup of joe. I put Macs in the same catagory as I see more macs in a Starbucks than any other laptop.
So to label Starbucks as the Microsoft of coffee seems off balance. I guess with Steve Jobs looking more like a totalitarian villian (Mad TV), I would think an Apple/Starbucks connection would be a better comparison

Ahem Paul...real coffee drinkers don't need sugar...
When I first started drinking coffee, I needed to pour on the cream and sugar until the practice of a "Warmer" always made it inconvenient to have a consistant cup of java. So I slowly weened myself off of adding anything to my cup o' joe and have sinced been a black coffee drinker since I was old enough to vote.

Re: Starbucks Alert
Maybe they should retrain the person resposible for ordering their supplies.
I went to a Starbucks in San Jose yesterday at 6pm and they were all out of sugar. All out of sugar? How does that happen? I'm sure that they don't go out to Safeway every day and buy a pound, hoping it will last them until the next day's trip to Safeway. So somebody effed-up big time.
What happened, did Tony Montana come in for coffee, and got crazy with the sugar? Poured it all over the table and shoved his face in it?

Re: Starbucks Alert
I avoided Starbucks ever since a friend in Seattle told me about how that corporation would build a franchise right across the street from some mom & pop's to drive them out of business.
The same process happened in Kahala Mall when a woman was enterprising enough to start a coffee cart right outside of Safeway. She was successful enough to expand into the mall itself. Then came Starbucks, and that destroyed a local business.
Now I call it "Evil Empire" coffee. The Microsoft of espresso. I won't even buy the Starbuck beans at the Costco near my house. I'll opt for the fresh-roasted stuff available at the Iwilei Costco despite how inconvenient it can be.

I told him, "funny cuz that's what I got yesterday from you guys, thank god for the cream!"
a good laugh is what I need! Cute picture of the puppy with the coffee too!
Aloha!
