Have you ever thought that Starbucks should be renamed Fivebucks? Do you ever want to scream like a mad man when they have the air conditioning blasting in the winter so that more people will have to buy warm drinks? Do you find it funny that they care so much about those who are poor and yet there drinks are so expensive. Are they an evil empire which is sucking everyones blood? Could they be compared to Pharaoh or Rome? Why was Rage Against the Machine such a great band? Is there anything truly special about Starbucks coffee? Is it time to return to the mom and pop shops? I think so.

This is from the Starbucks website.
“So ever since we opened our first store in 1971, we dedicated ourselves to earning the trust and respect of our customers, partners and neighbors. How? By being responsible, acting ethically and doing things that are good for the planet and each other.”

I’m so thankful that they care about the planet as much as they do. Why not raise the prices just a bit more? Why not add a a few recycle bins to the store since they obviously care about the environment so much. Why not turn down the AC in the middle of the winter? Gimme a break. Starbucks in Dallas, at West Village was cool but it is time for a change. House of Java, Christina’s, here I come.

I’m sorry Starbucks, we use to be friends but I don’t know if I can continue in this sort of relationship. Unless of course you are hiring? We’ve been friends for a while but do you even care about me or is it all about the green? COME ON MAN.
