    "Starbucks management justified its bizarre decision to turn its stores into public facilities where anyone can spend time without buying anything by referring to itself a “third place” – borrowing a term from contemporary left-wing sociology."

    "Interestingly, the Washington Post recently reported that Starbucks Executive Chairman Howard Schultz may seek the Democratic nomination for president of the United States in 2020. If that’s true, that could explain a lot about the company’s concern with pleasing leftist activists."

    Isn't that what the Brits have called their favorite pub forever?

    I'd vote for Trump over Schultz.

    Go Sonics.

    Difference is they expect to buy beer (happily doing so) while at their favorite pub, and they don't expect their pub to turn into a homeless camp. In fact they'd likely toss the buggers out before the pub owner found himself in a sticky wicket.
    Also, being a bum in the UK is different than being a bum in US.

    Howard Schultz is misreading the public just like he misread Clay Bennett.

    Dumbass.

    Businesses live in fear of social media but the numbers don't justify that fear. More than 81% of Americans are not on Twitter. Its like the NFL or any business that thinks the country has veered left because it looks like it on their feed and the agitators are loud and obnoxious.

    Chik Fil A showed that business will increase if you stand up to them. So did Trump

    Schultz is a moron anyway. Fuck that OKC piece of shit
    If I owned Tully's, I would market it as a safe place for women to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.

    I haven't gone into a Starbucks in years. I have Howard Schultz on my "Do Not Buy From This Shitbag" list, just like Bezos.

    Agree on Starbucks, but I must admit I love shopping from Amazon

    The 10% in me loves Starbucks. Fuck all y'all if you disagree.

    Now.

    The Sbux near my house, and in the areas I frequent as a white collar professional ... take care of their homeless problem by shipping them back to the slums.

    Where this problem will arise is in the city.

    But what the fuck, I already see those bastards sleeping on the street and pissing themselves like Sway on a Saturday night bender.

    Besides, all the homeless will be moving to Seattle for free housing anyway.

    I get up every morning and have a cup of instant Folgers, a spoonful of Nestle's Quick and almond creamer. Not a fancy coffee guy

    But don't fuck with my Amazon or my other apps.

    On other words, you fat fucks that are too fucking fat to get your fat ass on a fucking bike to get some fucking exercise while commuting to work or the store, don't like it when in shape people are in your way.

    Fuck off.

    That said, I'd much rather have separate bike lanes and not have them on roads. I say we just convert 50% of all of the streets in Seattle, to bicycle only. That way, the bikes won't be in the way of the cars and the fat fucks in the cars.

    And... that said, I only ride about 10 times a year, and only when its sunny and only on weekends. But I fully support everybody else that rides daily. They are better than me, and way better than all of you fat fucking fucks.

    I'd drop 99.9% of you fat fucks on a road bike hill climb like a bad habit. That said, fuck the arrogant POS's that comprise 81% of the Seattle bicycle commuting community. The flagrant disrespect for traffic laws is out of control. I'm surprised there aren't a hell of a lot more fatalities.

    I'm an unapologetic coffee douche. There's a reason that the insufferable, hipster independent coffee shop baristas thumb their nose at Sbux baristas. Sbux beans are overly roasted shit beans, not the Civet varietal. The exceptions are their single origins on the clover press and their nitros which are only offered at the fancy sbux.

    After I peel off my spandex and shower off the sweat from the 30 mi bike commute into Seattle I hand grind a batch of the finest single origin from one of the local indi roasters. Usually something from Africa and always a light or medium roast. Coffee is like steak, you don't want to cook out the flavor. Pour over or French press is the way to go. Cheap, easy and idiot proof. Espresso is nice when done right but high margin for error. Best part of my morning is reading Huff Po while sipping on my finely crafted single origin brew. When I see someone with an Sbux cup at work I instantly know that I'm better than them.

    No mutual exclusivity between enjoying medium rare steak and burnt coffee. I fucking love dark Italian and French Roasts, preferably in a French Press (although I'm too lazy most of the tim), but I'm not a coffee douchebaggio.

    Fuck. I’m like Kevin OLeary, Mr Wonderful. Get some Folgers and save the $7 every day on some foo foo shit and a tip to an unknown barista.

    There was a small bit of hyperbole in my post. I do enjoy a darker roast if the mood is right but I stand pretty firmly by my original sentiment if we're talking expensive coffee. Some guys also like the taste of a dry rose over a cab that drinks like a merlot. That's fine but be prepared to lose sophistication points
