I'm a comedian but only intelligent people understand my sense of humor.



Good thing somebody does.

I had the opportunity to start my own business a few times, but I did not want to be a slave to my career.  I wanted the ability to set my own hours and do what I want and still make a lot of money.

Hence the performance expert gig, the webmaster gig, the field service gig, and now longshoreman.

Work when I want.  Sleep when I want.  It is all good.

Sinergy

Cjenny, and I didn't realise that there were such hardcore Mc Donald's fans out there. Such Corporate Loyalty!
"Yeah, that's right, we like Mc Donald's, you wanna MAKE something out of it?"
A Starbucks "driveby" at a McDonald's;  "You make Seven! We make Eleven!"  "You make Seven, we make Eleven!"

Jenny, yeah! Now I bet that group can be really mean!

I just thought of something, I bet *EVERYONE* shits on 7-11 workers!
I can see a Mc Donald's worker going into a 7-11 after his shift is over in uniform; "Heh! You fuckin' Wage Slave!"

I have no idea.  Probably, though.  All I know for sure is that I look down on Starbucks employees for working at the crappiest, most misleading coffee company in existence.

I eat there a couple of times a month when I'm working at the port in Felixstowe as its the nearest, most convenient place to get chicken with salad.

But I long since banned my kids from the place.

Because I'm a biologist in a big city.  I'm waiting to move out of here so I can find some wildlife to study.

Starbucks is one of the most evil companies today. They're at least as evil as Mickey D's because:

- they contribute to the great disfigurement of our environment with their ugly shopfronts and corporate iconography;
- they serve complete and utter crap to beliguered customers - and they charge a fortune for the shit they make;
- they go and build shops in areas where they know they will make a loss, purely with the purpose of closing down the already-established local businesses, so that they may reap their customers after they went down (this happened in Geneva - Suisse - in 2005: all of sudden, THREE Starbucks, no less, opened within the city. I'm talking intra-muros here, not the outskirts);
- Mickey D's employ subhuman ill-educated epsilon minus semi-morons; Starbucks hire genius staff with at least a college degree and a sense of style.

when i lived in San Francisco, there were three local coffee chains:  Peet's, Spinelli's & Pasqua.  Starbuck's set out to destroy Spinelli's & they did this by finding a location on the same block as each Spinelli's & offering the landlord of said location 3 times the going rent, opening the Starbuck's & with their marketing & product placements in movies, tv shows & magazines, drew in enough customers to run Spinelli's out of business.  In this instance, however, they were somewhat foiled by a rival Seattle company, Tully's--who, btw, have great coffee & real espresso--who bought out the Spinelli's & thrived & became actual competition for Starbuck's. 

Starbuck's no longer makes real espresso, they have a machine into which the "barista" pours whole beans, then pushes a button & the machine grinds the beans in a measured amount & the "espresso" flows out the spigot into a cup.  if you've ever had the espresso made by hand, you would never frequent Starbuck's.  i don't frequent them or buy their products because i disagree with their business practices, the lack of customer service-oriented employees & their poorly made,  over-priced products.

thank you for allowing me to rant on your thread, Popeye & i will now return it to you...

ps:  i did get the joke & found it rather funny

Status: offline 		We agree totally, lilsub. Starbucks aren't the only bastard business I actively boycott. Walmart's one of them too.

It takes a lot of work to be a righteous consumer today *sigh*.

However I am ultimately grateful, cos I consume, therefore, I am
