Wacka Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Denis Leary on coffee (NSFW- language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f_dxLiuXuw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have only read the first page or two when it started and whatever is on the last page. I have no intention to read any more on the subject because the concept is for epic dooshes. For starters most people who frequent Starbucks are dooshes and most people with an obsession on skin color are dooshes. Seems like a perfect marriage for epic dooshes. So I don't know if this had been covered or not, so here goes. That said I will admit to a personal bias. I love me some Airplane!. And this thread always reminds me of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I worked at a Denny's in the 70s.Back then a cup of coffee cost 40 cents. The manager told me that that had the largest profit margin, bigger than anything else n the menu. You had to drink >13 cups for them to lose money. Cost the company about 3 cents a cup. Thats greater than 90% mark up. Fountain pop has to be cheaper, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Fountain pop has to be cheaper, no? I bet! I wonder what those new fangle "FreeStyle" machines do for profit margins? Do they help or hurt? Edited March 21, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowgirlsFan Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The better bargain at Starbucks is really their large/grande/tall passion tea. Always the perfect strength of tea ..get it without ice...then bring it home to mix with your favorite rum or vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garion Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 FWIW this article in Time last month changed how the wife and I thought of Starbucks (I still don't buy their coffee. ) The full text is behind a pay firewall but worth keeping a eye out for http://time.com/3696580/howard-schultz-starbucks-america/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Apparently the 'productive conversation' is over. http://news.yahoo.com/starbucks-baristas-stop-writing-race-145513295.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Starbucks CEO has a new plan to get you to talk about racism in America. It includes their baristas writing "Race Together" on a cup in hopes you ask "What does this mean?" at which point the barista will talk to you about how bad racism is in America. Frankly, I'm not a Starbucks fan because (a) the idea of standing in a long line for a cup of coffee is ridiculous and (b) I think their coffee tastes horrible. Regardless, the company is hugely successful based on all the people who somehow have turned it into some status symbol. It's like, well, I can't drive a Mini Cooper, but at least I'm not drinking that McDonald's swill. So I'm curious; if you're a Starbucks fan, do you like this idea? Do you care? Chime in, please. just more social brain washing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg F Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Perhaps they should consider making the Leadership Team more diverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
