At first, I thought that was dumb, because I certainly choose the free wi-fi places over the not. Then I realized they 1) either want to speed up the turnover in the restaurants, or 2) if you're going to sit there and suck their electricity, you're going to pay for internet.<BR/>Evil Genius.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-16632584192154527792007-12-19T16:43:00.000-05:002007-12-19T16:43:00.000-05:00Wow, I should change my blog to English! you have ...Wow, I should change my blog to English! you have so many readers! haha but that wouldn't be the point, I am probably not as good as you as a writter and my posts are more directed to people to understand my point of view of an Ecuadorian leaving in your country.<BR/>Love to read your stories though...! very interesting what you brought from your trip to very expensive Starbucks.....Gringuita QuiteƱahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192602991479746792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-55966748187043830462007-12-19T07:59:00.000-05:002007-12-19T07:59:00.000-05:00JV, I have never been in a Starbucks in my life.

Around here, we have these super sized convenience stores that employ "real baristas" (according to their TV and radio ads), so we just go there. Plus they sell Krispy Kremes, Starbucks does not. And they sell gas, Starbucks does not. And they sell these kick ass made to order subs, Starbucks does not. They also do not have couches inside their stores. So now you have given me another reason to never become a Starbucks customer.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172739692298983900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-83425323312894438542007-12-18T22:39:00.000-05:002007-12-18T22:39:00.000-05:00I always stored mine at the singer's mother's hous...I always stored mine at the singer's mother's house next to the PA.Johnny Virgilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914217086250206369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-77642986359627139442007-12-18T22:36:00.000-05:002007-12-18T22:36:00.000-05:00this rings really true for my hometown too, althou...this rings really true for my hometown too, although instead of starbucks it is a locally owned and run cafe. most of the students fiercely hate "corporate coffee" but i think starbucks gets less business cuz the cafe is closer to campus...<BR/><BR/>and for the record, bassists are more likely to use this than drummers. we (drummers)are more likelyto have a day job so we can have a place to store our kits.Clockwerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610083355830814202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-75764302095805534422007-12-18T16:37:00.000-05:002007-12-18T16:37:00.000-05:00Funny...I essentially blogged the same idea just o...Funny...I essentially blogged the same idea just over a week ago.

Well thought out. Favorite word "bean juice." (Makes me want to run out and grab a cup'o'joe at my local "Consumer Whore." I can't take credit - it's on a T-Shirt replacing the Starbuck's script on their logo). Speaking of, the French call weak/crap coffee "sock juice" or "jus de chaussette."
