dizzlepop Posted June 13, 2007 #102 Share Posted June 13, 2007 OK, I'll say it: I do love Fourbucks. Oops, I mean Starbucks. :p Really, though, I do enjoy Starbucks coffee both made at a store, and at home. I also enjoy other brands. Can't wait to get some Island Joe! When I moved to Utah in 1994 (where I still am), I wrote Starbucks corporate begging them to put a store here somewhere besides the airport! They said: "Sorry, no." HA! Didn't take them too long to figure out there are loads of rabid coffee addicts (uh, drinkers) right here in SLC alongside the hot caffeine teetotalers of the Utah dominant faith. Enough to open many, many Starbucks outlets that are all busy, almost all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted June 13, 2007 #103 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Well, I never walked around holding a brand name cup before, so I ran to the local Starbucks and bought a cup of coffee. I stood outside the mall with my cup for all to see. :cool: I waited and waited to make sure enough people noticed. I left when they started dropping coins into my cup. BAH! (Not cool.... hehehe) ;) You get enough coins to purchase a short with? No phone numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted June 13, 2007 #104 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Christie what's Wawa? And more importantly, how much $$$ does Starbucks need to buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea-cruise Posted June 13, 2007 #105 Share Posted June 13, 2007 You get enough coins to purchase a short with? No phone numbers? Nah...I got 12 pennies and a couple of phone numbers. One number was a shrink's and the other one was Friends of the Homeless. Guess no one was impressed with me. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted June 13, 2007 #106 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Gonzo... try this... now that you have had your cup all day... walk into the Starbucks, approach the counter and tell them that your drink was made wrong... If all goes as it should, you should walk out of there with a free drink... I know they are lacing the beans with nicotine to keep us all addicted to their product;) Not a bad idea, but as a shareholder I would be eating into the revenues. Just changed my avatar to a picture of me outside the oldest Starbucks store (at Pike's Market in Seattle). Those are some sweet benefits you get at your job! I wish I had unlimited free coffee. Working with inmates all I receive is free bologna. As for the beans laced with nicotine, back in my beer brewing days I once created a chocolate, caffeinated, nicotine ale. Unfortunately I overcarbonated the concoction causing the bottles to explode before they were ready for consumption. Had to send the carpet to rehab though.

BunkerVA Posted June 13, 2007 #107 Share Posted June 13, 2007 If you send me your e-mail address I will forward you a pic of me in my Starbucks speedos. I would post it here but it violates the CC rules. And probably federal obscenity laws ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe you really did all of this... Cool Pic. I was gonna suggest having someone film you with a cell phone, and then upload it to Youtube.

Gonzo70 Posted June 13, 2007 #110 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Wow, the Dow Jones was up over 187 points today and yet Starbucks stock was up a measely 3 cents. Amy, you didn't give out that tip about bringing in an empty cup and saying the coffee was made wrong to too many people, did you? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
