I am a Starbucks addict. It all started in tenth grade when I was studying for my AP World History exam. I can't remember how many drinks I ordered, but after that I was hooked. I'd always get ice blended. I had a class Monday nights last semester and I'd always get coffee there. I LOVE IT! I hate Coffee Bean though (ew). I've been trying to cut back to save some money for next year....but starbucks is god. That's all there is to it. :D

I find Tim Horton's to be much better but you can't get it in all areas.


Starbucks is good for fancy/specialty coffees tho.

I LOVE STARBUCK'S!!! A lot of people complain it's one big corporate coffee franchise on every corner, but hey, you can't argue with success. I usually buy their 16 oz drip coffee of the day.

Also seems that I often lose a cup that I buy there after about a month or so and have to spend albout $10 to replace it.

I love it! My mom and sister and I go every Saturday morning. It's our little tradition.

I live at that place. I'm a freaking addict. It's sad how much money I've wasted. Two years ago, we figured it out that I spent around $400 there for the whole year. It's the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

I LOVE Starbucks. My friends and I used to load up on Starbucks and take drives out east(so it has a lot of meaning to me since one of these friends just moved away). I don't go there a lot(my stomach doesn't react well to coffee) but if I do, I usually get the caramel frappaccino's or hot caramel apple ciders in the winter :)

I do enjoy a coffee from Starbucks from time to time. Here in New York City you can't avoid them. You go in any direction in Manhattan and you'll hit one within a block or two.

I also buy Starbucks coffee by the pound to drink at home.

I don't drink coffee. My complaint about Starbuck's is this, why is it that when you go into a place to get a cup of coffee you have to be a nuclear scientist to order just a plain cup of coffee????

For example, I went to Starbuck's with a friend recently, there was an elderly couple in there who wanted to get a cup of coffee, what happened was something out of a Seinfeld episode. These two sweet people are from a generation where you just ordered a large or small coffee, the person behind the counter started with the "Starbuck's jargon of ordering." My friend stepped in and helped them, but I thought to myself, why did they need to be helped when all the wanted was two large cups of coffee. Same thing with Jamba Juice, why can't you just say I want this and get it, no someone thought it would be cute to have a special jargon to order from a place to get a drink. Is this a way that Starbuck's and Jamba Juice make some people feel that they are the special people because they know the jargon of ordering a cup of coffee and making people that that sweet elderly couple feel left out? And what makes it so bad the person behind the counter didn't take the time out to explain anything, which is why my friend had to step in.

JMO!!! Just an observation from a noncoffee drinker. :wave: ;) :D

Oh lord...what an annoying place. Give me a damn cup of coffee you 14 year old and let me get the hell out of here.

I don't drink coffee anyway. Yay.

Never been there. I've only been to a couple coffee places in my life, and left unimpressed. :lookaroun
