Caribou Coffee is my favorite coffee place. Unfortunately, I live nowhere near one.... Starbucks coffee gives me really bad headaches.

starbucks , like any other private owned business , has the right to refuse service to anyone. businesses used to display this sign. maybe they could have handled it better, but they absolutely had the right to ask those guys to leave. and no point of all this silly virtue singling.

Yes they do have the right, but when you call the cops on someone who has only sat down for two minutes because of the color of their skin, that is not right! I am totally against virtue signaling and that is why I created this thread to show starbuck's ridiculous response. All they had to do was fire or discipline the one who called the cops and then issue a new policy regarding racial prejudice.

Their Left-Liberal "progressive" policies should therefore give you a Migraine headache. :cool:

All politics give me a headache. I swear, most adults are like overgrown children. No side is my side. It's all stupid.

... I have no idea if it's the caffeine content or some sort of sugar or chemical additive or what, but it gives me such bad headaches that I literally have to lay down for a few hours because I can't think straight. I don't drink any of it anymore, thankfully, but in my teens, I wanted to be a "cool alternative" chick and drink Starbucks, dress in peasant tops, wear cargo pants, and listen to Alanis Morrisette. :LOL: It was a phase. Not a bad thing to like any of that! Just that it was a phase because all of it is conditioning from the media and what it tells people to think is "cool". *smh*

I like Caribou coffee, along with Scooters and Gloria Jeans better than Starbucks. :sneaky:

I just get Peets at the store and rock it out with Aeropress. My dog enforces a strict no-loitering policy.

I like Peet's, but it's more expensive than Starbucks... at least in the grocery store.

I wouldn't make a very good coffee snob. I'm more of a "variety is the spice of life.." kind of guy on coffee. Except flavored coffees... I won't do those. Nearly any good Columbian coffee is ok with me. Kenya AA is pretty nice.

Peets is on sale pretty often where I live. If it isn't, I'll fall back to Gevalia.

I can't do flavored coffees either.

This is a Starbucks cafe in my city. They don’t have to worry about extending the bathroom facilities or making adjustments, as it’s a protected listed building. Lol (Many buildings in the city centre are old at least a few hundred years old. So that’s one way to solve that problem)!

We also get a lot of street entertainers so put your feet up have a coffee and enjoy the music.

There are times I'm jealous of Europeans.

I believe that this is exactly what is meant by the 'third place'.

Maybe starbucks is like purgatory.
There's Heaven, there's Hell, and there's that 3rd place.

Yeah, starbucks is like purgatory - a timeless void between heaven and hell...
where you're slowly purged while waiting for people to pray you away to safety.
