Out here we have Peet's Coffee. The owner and the original owner of
Starbucks used to be partners I believe. When they split, the deal was supposed to be neither would operate in the other's territory. Peet's a very small. Just a few stores. The coffee is a heck of a lot better. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... If Starbucks is so bad, how come there's one on every corner? They seem to be busy.

You need to look at a map of the Caribbean and the tracks of Frances and Jeanne. People in Governor's Harbor, Eleuthera, for example were right in the direct path of the storm. If they sailed off on a close hauled tack in the NE winds they would just stayed in the path of the hurricane and put themselves even more in the dangerous quadrant if and when the storm started to recurve. People who were smart like me sailed off on a broad reach to the west and not only got out of the path of the storm but put themselves on the weaker side doing it plus putting themselves even farther away if the storm decided to recurve.

Starbucks is the very embodiment of the liberal snob
philosophy. They will buy themselves cups of coffee all day long for close to four bucks a pop but will not give a dime to some poor blind man with his cup on the street corner. Then they have the nerve to claim they fight for the oppressed and identify with the 'little guy'. What a joke! CN "Nav" wrote in message ...

Starbuck's ahs a booth at our local superstore (Meijer) so while we were
shopping the other day, Mr Sails went to buy us a cup....when we tasted it, we thought it burned and returned it and asked for our money back (I will not pay for crap...) The woman was astounded that we thought the coffee was bad and insisted that there was no way it could be burned. I told her that if it wasn't burned then someone needed to wash out their brew machine because the oils had collected and made the coffee bitter. She still argued until I finally said I wanted to speak to her manager. What is it with clerks arguing with customers nowadays?

We must get a deal on Starbuck's here. It's only 2 bucks a large cup....the
cappuccino and latte are expensive, though...when out, my favorite coffee is gas station/convenience store coffee...Speedway is good....as is Wesco, but I think that's only in West MI...the BP station has rotten coffee....
