Starbucks to Lay Off Workers, Shut 300 Stores

[Luisinthehouse]

How sad. Starbucks is like the best cafe ever.

[udonandsashimi]

exploitation...

lack of corporate responsibilty...

why has no one touched THAT point yet??

[19Einstein89]

thats ridiculous. palestinians always begin the war ever hear about the 7 day war? all these countries fought israel and israel came out victorious and always will

[19Einstein89]

So the palestinian people dont kill innocent israelites? they just attack israel untill israel retaliates and then they go hide behind other countries like a little kid saying isael attcked us

[19Einstein89]

Whats wrong with that? are you antisemitic?

[19Einstein89]

Well then my question would be, what does he do that classifies him as a zionist? if he is then fine but i want to know what fuels you to say what makes him fit into the zionist category

[19Einstein89]

If you dont know then why would you claim that he is?

[19Einstein89]

why is he a zionist? can you elaborate a little more?

Starbucks is all about looking good while spending money. A well known brand on a cup and F%#$ the customers , when it comes to good quality coffe. Folgers, Maxwell House, and Starbucks are America's best-selling ground coffees. But all three were iced by Eight O'Clock Colombian coffee in our taste tests. As for Starbucks, it didn't even place among the top regular coffees and trailed among decafs.

And did you hear the guy say "Starbucks will attempt to offer transfers to displaced employees" No thank! at that Wage! Fah Get about et!

This is an important message. If your body is hanging on to FAT & just wont let go no matter what, part of the problem is coffee, which not only dehydrates you, it creates acid in your body. The processed, unhealthy Frankenstein foods we eat creates more acid in our bodies. Your poor body is trying to protect itself from huge amount of acid by lining all the blood vessels, organs & muscle tissue with fat to protect from being burnt by all the acid floating around your body. Google it.

[19Einstein89]

You are ignorant Starbucks is an amazing company

[crystalcreated]

OMG, I won't be able to get a Fivebucks coffee on practially every street corner? Wow.

[regvarney]

Then start your own muslim coffe chain you paranoid prick.

[converse2412]

starbucks is soo delicious. but way too expensive.

[abarzilai664]

I beleive Starbucks coffe is "over-priced" because of the benefits and decent wages the staff receive.

[19Einstein89]

It is worth it. The benefits are amazing

[ZoomBFX]

What the hell does starbucks expect?

They started a trend of overpriced coffee and now it has come back to bite them in the ass.

Burnt, bitter and overpriced coffee. All a feudal attempt to say "Look at me!. I look so important with my laptop and my 20 syllable name cup of coffee!

[19Einstein89]

I am assuming you have never tried Starbucks coffee. Starbucks coffee is amazing and people really have a passion for it

[ZoomBFX]

I assume your Starbucks's Bitch.

[19Einstein89]

No Just assume that i work for starbucks and i love the way they treat their workers i get paid 20% more than i did at my last job and i get full health dental and vision insurance I love starbucks

[ZoomBFX]

not for long. because your savior Howard Shultz (who might i add, has failed miserably to imitate italian coffee, I've had real italian coffee BTW, not even close). decided to start the trend of 4 dollar coffee and spread his store like kudzu. you think the whole world is gonna keep paying that much? 600 stores gone because of this idea

obviously, I dont drink starbucks, but i wish the best for you during these times.

[19Einstein89]

Well the world has been paying that much for over 20 years i do not see why it would stop now. even when gas was 4 dollars a gallon people would come in and get their coffee.

[BlackWolf4830]

It's actually more like $2 but okay.

[Beadbud5000]

Starbucks are part of the many problems with the economy. Let them fail!

[19Einstein89]

Could you elaborate a little more? how is Starbucks a problem with the economy?

[Beadbud5000]

Java used to be less than .40 a cup. Basically you can look at Starbucks two ways. A marketing genius for getting consumers to pay WAY more than cost for a cup of Joe OR, a greedy little yuppie company taking trendy white suburban (baby boomers) adults and sucker punching them. In turn, ALL commodities prices rose through the roof. Thus creating an atmosphere of 'elitist consumerism' and the spiraling over inflated economy

[austinga05]

You Starbucks people crack me up. What a waste of money. Are you that fucking important that you have to buy a $4.00 cut of shit? Sit home and go buy some Folgers, Maxwell House, and save your money. Starbucks day's are numbered!

[SnowflakeRides]

paid 7 dollars for a huge thing of folgers.

I win!

[19Einstein89]

You can not even begin to compare over the counter coffee with Starbucks coffee

[SnowflakeRides]

Do you actually drink the coffee, or do you just drink the espresso drinks? The espresso drinks win hands down - straight up coffee - not so much. You are a sheeple. You love starbucks because the world has told you to.

[arequipa1]

fuck this economy

[P3rf3ctStorm]

We're not in a depression

We're not in a depression

We're not in a depression

We're not in a depression

...

Just keep saying it, and it'll make it true.

[Blacklightroom]

"Oversaturation" is the proper word in the Business World

When one begins to compete with oneself as a Business, due, in part, to too many locations within a certain "confined" area

Doesnt help that the economy is fragile.. well Im understating there, for possible attack by some ..

[Alondite360]

Starbucks had it coming.  They open too many stores in one area, talk about overkill. In my area for example; there's a Starbucks inside of Target, one outside of Target, another across the street from Target inside a mall, and finally yet another just a 2 to 3 minute drive from that area.

[19Einstein89]

I must agree with you there. that was howards fault for stepping down

[leanonme1]

damm...

i know some dam hot girls that work at starbucks... too bad...

[thehasher]

yay... down with starbucks

[GoldenFireReviews]

Boycotting coffee. You mean that Starbucks can't lower prices so they just close stores. Whatever.

[teddyhcraig]

I would rather drink McDonalds or 7-11 coffee, cause, to me the Starbucks coffees don't taste that good! So when I heard this on the news earlier, and here now, I wasn't surprised. The coffee at starbucks is overpriced.

[rhosey001]

Farewell Starbucks. Let me know when all of those joints close I will throw a really big party.
