That is pretty impressive, but I don't like coffee so they are not getting any money from me. LOL

That is impressive, but Tim Horton's coffee makes Starbucks taste like dirty dish water.

Wow that's alot of employees. I like their mocha frappacinos.

 

[Micca]

Good to hear it. Maybe they'll buy out Wal-Mart

 

[Jasminesmommy]

Hey I like Wal-Mart

I think I'll stick to my morning cup of Folgers!!

I am currently suffering from Starbucks addiction right now. I have to have one at least once a day

They are putting one inside our Target, it is supposed to open in June or July.

I love plain black coffee but I don't care for Starbucks. It's too weak flavored for me.

I don't think I've ever purchased a coffee from Starbucks

 

[Mimi Q]

I am not a coffee drinker either. I have never been in a Starbucks.
