im noticing the long-haired woman's arms out from her sides are behind or holding some odd shapes. they're striped B&W & their tops look like the tails of fish. i wonder if they're another woman's high_heels.
i see 3 stars. i think i'll get some hazelnut_coffee.

it's the white and green that's so appealing. green, the soothing of colors. coffee, the soothingest of beverages.

Those are her tails. The logo features a double tailed mermaid and you may or may not see her featured in various incarnations in other works of art around a Starbucks store. She was featured in some table top decorations in one store I visited though she was not holding her two tails apart like on the logo.

just another teen rioter
|
is blanked out in many towns by a team of Starbuck's haters, to spell out
STARBUCKS COFFEE
____FUCK_ _OFF__
Conspirators have also used green pens to do this on stacks of cups, which they switch with cups in store and leave.
sheer comedy, you have to love it.

Now I have my own little modified Starbucks "____FUCK __OFF__" logo in my office. I made it out of one of those cardboard sleeves and a green pen.

Whats with the Starbucks obsession of so many people in so many places.
Just stop talking about the place, stop thinking about it, dont go there, leave it alone. It might go away. Its a curse.

I can't do it. I tried, sort of. I just don't like Starbucks. I don't like coffee, and don't really care for tea. I don't like the stuff on their walls, and the logo creeps me out just a little bit. I can still function in the world. I can still be a normal part of the whole world, just because I don't worship the venti latte reality they serve on a regular basis, nothing changes. I refuse to use their teriminology when I order. Everywhere else in the world, a large is a large. I don't like them dictating my reality.
Really, they're not dictating it though. They're offering it. They're just saying, "hey, this is our world. You can join it if you like. Have some stuff. Here are some funny words to say. That'll be $10.97." And I say, thank you for the offer, but I like my world better. I'd like to think that Starbucks would say, "That's cool, yo. We'll be here if you want to come back. We'll be here. And everywhere else."

I've got nothing against Starbucks, it's just another business like so many others.
I do like to go to Caribou_Coffee much more though. I like the atmosphere better and the wi-fi there is free.

your coffee tastes like crap
|
man, fuck starbucks coffee altogether!
corporate whores. i hate them all, polluting our cities with their unnecessary, overpriced coffee. you think they'd let you surf the web for free given how a cup of coffee will cost you something like $4. thank god there are alternatives, coffee houses with real prices and free wifi.

A cup of coffee cost four dollars? Where? I think a cup of coffee at Starbucks is around $1.64 now.
But really, vote with your feet. That's how it works.
There is a wonderful little independent coffee house in my town owned by this guy who also owns the flower shop next to it. They have local singers and guitarists play outside in the gazebo and they even have open mike nights. It's great but the coffee ain't any cheaper than Starbucks. ¬_¬
