Drink up: Starbucks to close 12 stores in metro area

I wont miss it, I will just stop another one of the 30 Starbucks that I pass daily.

who cares?

What, no more overpriced coffee from arrogant Barrista's. Thank Christ. I have tried it a couple of times and find the whole process at Starbucks to be tiresome. At best you come out of the placed annoyed.

It was, and is, bad management at the national
level.
Starbucks Inc.--was over-built, nationally.
We will miss their over-priced coffee.

What this isn't Brainards fault?I am shaken by this.

I really like Starbucks coffee, but I think they have tried to branch out too far.
Besides trying to put a store on each and every street corner in the United States, they have gotten away from coffee.
Cappucino, Expresso, even the Frappucino are all coffee drinks, and that makes sense, but all these other non-coffee drinks just don't make sense to me.
A strawberry creme Frappucino is nothing more than a watered down strawberry milkshake.
If you want a milkshake you can go to DQ and get one a lot cheaper.

Starbucks sux. I never go there. I always try to find hometown merchants to do business with. You should too. If you don't...shame on you.

Gee where will i sit to sip my coffee and watch the Chemtrail planes as they paint our sky grey.

Nothing better than some Java with a side of Chemtrails, waiting for the New World Order to begin!

41 years ago coffee was 10 cents a cup!

Ron Carter and the other "Brainard stooges" are to blame for high coffee prices!

Joan Valdez did NOT come to Car-MELLLLLLLLL to drink your coffee!

I drink your milkshake from PedCor!

Someday the Pope will deliver you from evil and the MASSIVE $950 debt delivered to you from the VATICAN!!

Hey Corbin, every successful business was once a hometown merchant somewhere. think about it. Starbucks just happened to do it better then anyone else, otherwise they would have stayed in that little hometown called Seattle and never expanded. same thing applies to any business

and guess who the multiple Starbucks in your hometown provides jobs for? Is it people from Seattle? No, it's people in your hometown, fool

I guess you'd like Roche, General Motors, McDonald's, Wendy's, Target, Hilton, Shell Oil, etc, etc, etc, to pack up and leave town and take their jobs with them because they're not "from your hometown". Is that correct?

Because as we all know, any and all business that comes from outside of your hometown isn't using the latest technigues and providing the highest quality products or providing the necessary competition to make capitalism work the way it should

It's a world economy. Wake up.

OK-I give you 5 points for:

"I drink your milkshake from PedCor!"

Who needs Starbuck's when there's Dunkin' Donuts coffee in town?

I wish "White Pride" would meet me for a cup of coffee, and some desert, if you know what I mean, and I think you do..........

yup

yeah

So are half-calf soy mocha latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon not manly anymore?
