Starbucks is evil

[RitaZ.]

I wasn't a coffee drinker, but Starbucks changed that. You have to try the White Chocolate Mocha...

And now Christmas drinks are being offered! Coffee really does taste better in a red Christmas Starbucks cup!

Yes it does.
I miss Starbucks so much. It is just not fair.

Well thanks y'all....
I've been doing really good making my own iced coffee at home to save a few $$$, but after reading this thread, I may have to sneak out to Starbucks for an iced caramel macchiato...

You think you have a problem, I have a Super Target with a Starbucks inside a mere 5-7 minutes from my house! There's a drive through one even closer the other direction and TWO inside Concord Mills Mall 10 minutes away.

I would end up in financial counseling.

They put in a Starbucks within WALKING distance of my house, and also right on our way to ANYWHERE in the car. Life has not been the same since.

Stay away...far away! I swear they put drugs in there...just to get you coming back.

Never had a starbucks till this year when I was in Michigan and decided to try one since we were getting one in town and now I'm hooked on the dang gone Strawberries and Creme Frapp.

Mal, the Peppermint thing isn't year round, so you should be OK after Christmas. However, don't try the white chocolate mocha....or a caramel frappucino...or a caramel macchito or...!!! I was like you, I avoided Starbucks. Then they opened a store down the block from the office, a coworker was making a run one afternoon. I asked him to pick up something "cold & slushy", figuring there wasn't anything like that...I was wrong. He came back with a caramel frappucino, and an addiction was born.

BTW, I am drinking the first Peppermint Mocha of the season right now!

Actually..at my Starbucks...they do make it year round. I know cuz I'm an addict myself. That and the Pomegranate Frap's...YUMMY!!!

My year round drink is peppermint white mocha with skim milk. You can get peppermint in any drink you want it just isn't a special.

DS has worked for the company for a couple of years and they are good to their employees. The company did so well recently that everyone got a raise.
They also do a ton of things for the community and have some nice employee benefits.

I don't drink coffee however I love tea and Starbucks has some great tea drinks too. A person just can't win.

White Chocolate Mocha. Best ever.

Starbuck's is a very guilty pleasure of mine.

I work nights, and leave for work, at 10:40 pm. Our Starbucks used to be open till 11, and I could stop. About 9 months ago they started closing at 10:30. I was soooo upset. Even emailed the company. Got a gift certificate for my trouble. Now, though, I've realized just how much money they have saved me by closing early---5nights x $4.21=alot over 9 months.

Now my problem. I move to day shift after THanksgiving

 

[nuke]

Oh yeah those peppermint mochas are really good.

 

[Melwood23]

Speaking of Starbuck's, I didn't have to worry a few years ago, since only time I could get a fix was when I flew to LA (get first cup at LAX). That is where some evil friends..got me hooked. Didn't have any in Columbus...well now thats changed...I now have 2 with in a mile of me... what is a person to do...

But then when you have to train these new shops what the difference is between a Carmel Macchiato...and an ICED Carmel Macchiato..that is sad.

Starbucks is evil! Even my 5-year old is addicted to their decaf frappucinos! Every weekend he begs me to take him there for some "cold coffee."

Some places have a really dangerous version of Starbucks- one that is open 24 hours a day! Drove to Indy last week and there were 2 on the way. Very useful for a long drive but very dangerous too b/c I just had to stop at both of them.

And if you like peppermint mochas, try the peppermint frappuccino- YUMMY!!!
