The 1st Starbucks in France opened in Paris last month I think.
Isn't it crazy?
France is soooooooo slow most of the time...

Nooooooooooo!!
I have a huge bag of their beans in the freezer. And a bag of their espresso beans for my lattes.
I am sure everything will be ok. Or I think the rise in crime will go up. I know what I am like when I don't have mine for even two days.

i hate starbucks and all these massive coffe places.
i use them loads but they need to improve by getting english speaking staff. who are not rude. evian water not some water that looks like it was filled up in a bath.
unhealthy food. all like rhy bread or some crap. why whats wrong with white bread or normal brown bread?! ffs stop trying to be so damn fancy.
and bring more of those custard cake things in. they are nice.

My friend used to work for Starbucks and she said there were these stupid manuals advising them on EXACTLY how to relate to customers and make coffee, etc. She said they were awful and that Starbucks is like a disease of civilised countries!
I would have to agree...piss off starbucks!

one of Seattle most notorious bastard children.
Their headquarters are just south of downtown, not as impressive as you might think for such a big company.

hmmm...never had anything from starbucks...
-
Ohhh . . . Starbucks . . . *cough*OVERRATED*cough*
What?! Who? Where?

I've heard lots about this. Unless you're really weird acting like me :wink: , you should be able to just be yourself and relate to the customers naturally. I hate when companies want people to act all fake and do their work with reference to north-south orientation so it looks orgainzed while the management mismanages everything and smokes pot out the back door.....and then pays it's employees barely enough to get by.
Edit: Actaully, that is not a fair depiction of starbucks, more corporate fast food. There really should be charities which are aimed at people who work in the fast food business. The adults who work there for at least 6 months to a year....or more sad to say... I mean they are willing to work......they should be given assessments, including psychological ones..and help in that respect......

I went to the very first one there in Seattle. They still have the logo where the breasts aren't covered. If I remember correctly.

Lol. Another score for political incorrectness! 8)
It's weird...I keep on hearing about "Starbucks taking over," "Starbucks controlling your mind," "Starbucks is the Matrix...there is no spoon," Starbucks this, that, blah blah blah. And yet, I don't really see them any more often than I see any other large franchise of some sort... :roll:

Ohhh . . . Starbucks . . . *cough*OVERRATED*cough*
What?! Who? Where?
*shakes fist*
I've been drinkin coffee since you were in diapers, little girl. Starbucks rules.
i thought starbucks ruled when the only place I could get it was Barns and Noble.
The only coffee I MIGHT like more than Starbucks for pure black caffeine goodness is Hiene Brothers... and I think they are local to Louisville.

I was just there this summer. No boobs. The place also didn't have any tables or chairs, just a bar and maybe a bar stool or two.

PLEASE stop with this "i'm older than you so nah nah nah naaah nah" line, because its getting old now- oh and distinctly lame aswell.

They are local, chum. Our Junior Achievement teacher went to St. X with the founder, so I've heard. And Heine Bros. coffee is the shiznat. You don't even know.
Also, I think some people MISINTERPRETED my pretty, li'l statement there. What I was SAYING, was Starbuck's is overrated. I never said it was bad; it's overrated, in this opinion, up in here. Like . . . It's too renowned or whateverrrrr, like that The Lost Prophets' song. It would be so much better if people didn't like it. You know? Not that I'm anti-mainstream. I'm certainly anything but that . . . But I don't actually like when people like things because other people do or when they don't have a reason or when they're being stereotypicalllllll (in other words, let's try to be punk so we'll listen to the Sex Pistols or The Ramones even though we don't like them or their music - Ugh).
God, this makes so much sense to me. I wish I had a bigger vocabulary, because then I could explain it. Until then, you'll have to wonder or figure the rest out yourself.

That's God's third greatest gift to man, coffee in the bookstore, right after baseball and fire.

What about exploding lighters?

That's after Froz-Fruit DUH!

. . . and grapes? They're bound to be before "froz fruits," but explosive lighters should definitely be before grapes, thus explosive lighters should be BEFORE frozen fruits.

The only drink I usaully get when I go to a expresso shop is:
Four shots of expresso on ice with as much sugar as will dissolve before you add it to the ice. Usually there is a layer of sugar on the bottom of the glass. I like coffee but don't usually drink it.

Ah. Yo comprendo ahora, gracias.
I don't like the Sex Pistols... does that mean I'm not punk? :(
@ Rosie - Listen here, youngin. When I was your age, we had RESPECT for our elders :wink:
-

Yes, but it also means you have (at least) reasonable taste in music.
As for the bean crisis, hopefully it means America will have to halt the Starbucks invasion of the UK. This must put their target of three on every single street in serious jeopardy.

There is one attatched to our local sainsbury's. Its well funny, it has this device which locks your trolley wheels if you try to walk out of the shop with all of your food- and it happened to my dad once. He stood there for SO long like "what has happened!? why won't it moooove!?"

I figured a trolley was any vehicle assisted by an outside force.
