That is one thing that I admired about the company however 2 years ago they implemented the increase in coffee prices across the board to cover the medical insurance for all employees. Now, I know that the consumer is ultimatley going to pay for it however this was a blatant publicility stunt by there CEO to justify the increase in prices...

It's all about feasability... health care is an enormous expense for anybody. You have to offset it somewhere. Admirable yes, but appropriate...

Sorry I felt like getting lyrical with what you said, I know I was restating your comment. Sorry kids I'm in an odd mood.

I pass three everyday on the way to work! Deciding if I need my coffee early to wake my ass up driving in or if I need it hot for when I first settle into my desk is a decision I make everyday.

i remember visiting a lil remote island last summer.. and feeling so ambivalent about the whole experience b/c there were no starbucks on the island.. i felt like it was a lil too weird for me.. relaxing nonetheless!

Thank fuckin god with there sorry ass tasting coffee give me dunken doughnuts coffee any damn day

THE ONLY THING that is good about NJ is that there is a Dunkin Donuts every 50 feet LOL

Interesting how these major lay-offs are coming on the heels of that decision that they HAVE to pay their employees more than slave wages because their profit margin is so fukkin high (or something to that effect). So rather than treat their employees like human beings they just close up shop.

Sounds like the American way alright.

$1.69 is how much I pay for a cup at my packed Starbucks. I love the baristas and they give me their alotted free pound of coffee a week. I guess I just have a great connection to the people at mine, so I love Starbucks.
