| Subject: Guess I won"t be Drinking Starbucks----- Support our troops
From original forwarded email.
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they send some of it to the troops there. Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thanks you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee. So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by buying any of their products! I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house.
If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will ever know.
Thanks very much for your support... I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS . ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO SUPPORT THEM OR NOT! ! !
Also, don't forget that when the Twin Trade Towers were hit the fire fighters and rescue workers went to Starbucks because it was close by for water for the survivors and workers and Starbucks charged them!
JUST A NOTE TO THIS; STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS. GO GET 'EM AMERICA . STAND-UP FOR OURSELVES! | |

| I've never thought that Starbucks "gets" coffee at all, in fact, I think their coffee is generally over-roasted, overpriced, and just tastes burnt or bitter to me; I also resent being told I have to learn their silly glossary to guess what size i want. "Show me the cups - I want THAT size." "That's a grande" "I don't care what you call it, that's what I want."
That being said, the general point that you can save money by varying your order is good advice, and you can do it at many restaurants. | |

| The only thing Starbucks has going for it in many places is its location. (I've worked in areas where it was the only coffeeshop around. Period.)
Agree with other poster, their stuff tastes burnt or bitter.
My pals, who are real coffee people, have laughed at the way so many folks have taken to Starbucks. Anyone who really knows coffee advises against starbucks.
There is also the issue of the service at various outlets, which varies dramatically.
Some outlets have truly professional help with great attitude. Some are filled with people who are clueless and have lousy attitude.
That said, I think your tips are very good. But the best options for savings are not Starbucks outlets. Even with your tips. | |
