My wife and I went into Starbucks recently. She bought a vanilla cappachino and chocolate muffin, I got a iced tea and orange pop looking drink in a bottle. Holy shit were we surprised at how awefull this over priced shit was. I would give it a -10 rating. I could give two shits abouts sitting on a couch, especially when it's not even possible to finish any of it. We tried each others stuff just to confirm the grossness. Anyone else feel the same?

Starbucks Sucks
-
Yup I agree! Their drinks are usually pretty disgusting. Give me a locally owned coffee shop any day!
-
Bahhhh. You guys are full of it. Yeah, some places have better coffee. Sure, I've run into places where I've said wow... this is really good. But to categorize it as disgusting? Hardly. Any tea is disgusting in my book so I have no comment about the tea you bought. Maybe you have a shitty Starbucks franchise where they are doing something wrong.
-
I don't like it either. However, my cousin gets something from there that I like all right. It's green - but it's good. But that's the only thing I like from there...and it's too damn expensive if you ask me.
-
I refuse to ever go there. Recently my friend got a muffin from there and found a fingernail in it. She's not someone who would lie about that stuff either.

Ill take a local shop everytime if its one I know to be good. I prefer to support my local shit even if it means I pay slightly more. However, the national big places like starbucks, I can count on them when I travel to give me what I desire.
Besides that, I have to agree with SDP on this, they are not as good as the ones I frequent here at home, but they are far from disgusting piles of shit. Somethign went wrong with ninjas cup, maybe the milk they frothed and steamed was bad ? maybe the kids making it was new and didnt know what the hell they were doing.
Tea tastes like shit, its bitter, its an aquired taste, if you were looking for sweet iced tea stick to your lipton in a can, if its some shit in a bottle, thats somethign they bought to resell, and cant be held against them.
Starbucks is not the best shit in the world, I normally buy beans and grind them myself like Helms, but if Im out of town and see a starbucks when I want coffee, thats where Im heading rather then ftrial and error with the local shops. -
Starbucks? ha! if the Hitler Youth opened a coffee chain... this is it.And would someone please tell me the secret code for ordering a "large black coffee" please?! Good god, if ya don't know the lingo, you're screwed... is it a short, a tall, a veni-vidi-veci? (et tu Brute?)No, youn man, I do not wish to have a double half calf decalf with a twist!! Nor do I wish to have some kid, half my age, making one tenth what I do, looking down his arian nose at me and my desire for a "large black coffee"Give me Timmy's or give me DEATH!
-
I say disgusting because for one I love Iced Chai Tea Latté’s and they screw it up every time. I mean seriously it's not that difficult. I worked at a coffee shop, so I have experience lol. Plus I also found out they use some powdered crap to make the drink... can we say gross??Got a French vanilla Cappuccino there and couldn't even taste the espresso in it. I mean sure it might be the individual Starbucks I went to.. but definitely gave a bad appeal for me.

Here's a reveling story on Starbuck's Link to ABC - Give Me a Break
Sense then, if memory serves, they have sued a couple other small coffee shops for the same kind of shit. That's a good enough reason for me to never venture in there , not that I would anyway, I've been forced to become a green tea kind a guy.

the words you seek are "House blend, Venti, black"What I alwasy get is a double shot poured into a venti, topped iwth a house blend black.

I am a coffee freak! I can drink coffee all day, at anytime, from anywhere (well almost anywhere ) except Starbucks. I refuse to ever buy anything from there again! For one, it's too expensive and then there is the taste thing... thier coffee is nasty.
-
LOL Mr. U!I hate Starbucks also. At my work they have Starbucks and McDonalds and I always get my French Vanilla at McDonalds.
-
I'm jumping on this bandwagon. Don't like Starbucks.
There was a time when I would roll my eyes at people who would dis on Starbucks cause they were typically the "all chains suck" type which is just stoopid as far as I'm concerned. (Although I'll always pick the local shop over the chain...all else being equal.) But now I can't stand em.
My biggest complaint is that, when it comes to coffee, they don't seem to know the difference between strong and bitter.
I spend a lot of time at locally owned coffee shops (I'm in my favorite one now), and I'll buy coffee from McDonalds or Speedway before I'll buy it from Starbucks.
And I refuse to order a "tall" cup of coffee. I say medium. If they don't understand that, they're the idots. -
*hears bandwagon and jumping * Count me in............tho i have no idea what you lot are talking about, ok except its coffee related.............but i care not............now, bandwagon, jumping and dancin...........anyone????
-
In reply to:Good god, if ya don't know the lingo, you're screwed... Lol. I cant say if I like it or not, because I've never had it. Im afraid of not knowing what the hell to order. My sister gave me a starbucks for dummies card. Still dont know....
-
In reply to: Give me Timmy's or give me DEATH! I would DIE for a tim hortons coffeee.. MmmM!! Have you tried those new caramel Ice caps?
-
