And that is cheaper or competitively priced with all indie coffee shops. I'll say it again, if you think Starbucks is too expensive that's because you aren't really a coffee drinker.

On the logo, they are now showing their zionist roots even more by prominently displaying the Jewish Queen Esther. This is all part of their plan.

Not really. For that $2 at Starbucks you get 12oz coffee. Most other places you get a 14-16oz coffee. The disparity in the iced coffee is even greater.

They are still an ok place to work for, but they are started to pay less and treat their employees like shit. In a couple of years they'll probably be paying McDonald wages.

Yeah, I definitely had fun while I worked for Sbux, but the majority of the time is stressful and just plain awful. The company itself is extremely demanding in several aspects (especially when you climb to Shift Supervisor/Asst. Store Manager/Store Manager/District Manager, etc.), so to have to deal with all of the strict company guidelines while keeping a smile on your face and making sure every mother fucker who walks into your store, no matter how delightful or not they may, leaves happy does not make for a fun time. However, I was lucky and had awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, AWESOME coworkers and amazing managers. That made it bearable. However, the family vibe can fall apart rapidly as soon as someone leaves the store and somebody else replaces them. The regulars are also always a lot of fun to talk to and fuck around with. It all comes down to where your store is and who you work with, and that determines whether or not you'll have a positive experience or not.

And, yes, I realize that all of this can be said for most any company out there. I'm just sharing a very brief and condensed form of my experience with the company.

Long story short: It's a horrible experience, and I am so, so, so, SO happy I will never be working for them again.

I agree with this entirely. Starbucks was the best job I ever had simply because my co-workers were awesome. However, the corporate culture sucks and fell off a cliff during their massive expansion after '04 or so.

The Starbucks partners/baristas make or break each store. When someone leaves, you often see a few customers leave as well.

Yes, they pay like shit. Most stores make it up with tips, but it really sucks if your store is in a mall (ie. mall debit card effect).

Maybe where you live. In this hipster/rich town it's the same as or cheaper.

could be. I like starbucks coffee, but I'm not gonna say I have a discerning pallette either.

I do know I did some work for a US Barista Championship event a few years ago and the attendees seemed to universally trash starbucks coffee and throw around the "char-bucks" meme

Anecdotal, but I don't find it hard to believe people would prefer another coffee without the branding and such... just saying.
Either way, I still order starbucks sometimes when I don't make my own because it's usually convenient.

As an avid coffee drink who goes to Starbucks when ever it is the more convenient of places I agree that I would be hard pressed to pick them out of a line up. I'm sure it's just like domestic beers. We all have our preference but when given a blind taste test we can't distinguish our most hated brand from our favorite.

This company needs to die. There's no reason why people should be paying $6 for a cup of coffee in this economic environment.

If there's no reason for people to pay $6 then they won't. And Starbucks will die (or drop their prices). QED.

I don't exactly understand your point.

Or did I miss something where a gun is being held to peoples' fucking heads?

I don't drink Starbucks (there seems to be too much of an emphasis on flavouring their coffees with all kinds of sugary gimmicks) but I hate people that shit on Starbucks just because it is Starbucks.

The original logo was of a twin tailed siren or some people say a melusine.

It;s a decent logo but Starbucks is all about the NAME. I'm not sure the logo it's self is that identifiable.

Absolutely agree. I don't drink coffe and what I know about Starbucks is the name in the green ring. I had no idea what the hell was going on in the middle.

Not everyone likes to drink gass station dark piss. Believe it or not, some people take their coffee seriously and sometimes, starbucks is the only option unless you'll settle for 7-eleven.

No one who takes their coffee seriously gets it from Starbucks. Make it yourself if it's that serious; Starbucks coffee is consistently and ubiquitously awful.

A hipster would not be caught dead in Starbucks. Anything corporate is automatically shunned and derided as inferior.

Amazed how many people hate the new logo. I think it's fantastic and very classy. There's no need for them to print their name on cups at this point, and keeping the now-iconic shade of green was a smart choice.

Simple people hate anything new or changed.

If Starbucks started with this mermaid logo and added that green border with STARBUCKS COFFEE on it, everyone would lose their shit talking about how bad it is.

No they wouldn't.

Sweet, a logo that looks as bad as their coffee tastes. I feel bad for you guys outside of Utah. If you're ever in the Salt Lake Valley, go to Beans and Brews. Best coffee I've ever had.

I assume that they assume that people recognize the "queen" of coffee by now. I do, and I don't hardly drink coffee. I'm from the energy drink generation :D

This. Starbucks is overpriced tar. McDonald's actually has good regular coffee/iced coffee.

However, the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has some seriously awesome coffee! They wipe it clean over the 'Bucks.
