Boo Starbucks
I hate Starbucks. I’d rather brew my own coffee using old cigarette butts as filters and water out of a rest stop toilet than give my money to Starbucks. It’s my last resort coffee shop, the one I go to when I just have to have a fix and there are absolutely no other options. I took my laptop to a Starbucks in Memphis this last weekend and when I tried to connect to the internet I learned they have a partnership with T-mobile, forcing you to pay for internet access. Why would anyone pay to get on the internet when there is another, independent coffee shop down the road that gives away internet access for free? The sad thing is that there are LL Bean wearing, trend-following, urbanites that sit in Starbucks and give their money to T-mobile so they can use the internet in what they believe to be the only chain of coffee shops on the face of the earth. I suppose I shouldn’t complain, it keeps them out of the ones I like to frequent—small, independent shops with a truly eclectic atmosphere, not the sterile, corporate façade that is the inside of every Starbucks. If Starbucks was a person, I would punch him in the face. I would say, “I hate you Starbucks.” Then I would kick him in the groin and steal his lunch money. Man, I hate Starbucks.

P.S. If I was cool and remotely computer savvy, I would have hooked a link up on that.

they do burn the bean's Casy. People think that the coffee tast's stronger and they don't have to sure the coffee so hot to avoid law suits.

I hear that... though if we're going to MI for cider, might as well make it Uncle John's.

...and if we're already going to Uncle John's, there's really no point in not making it the rest of the way to Mt. Pleasant =~>
