    Personally I try to avoid Starbucks/Second Cup/"Other Brand Name Coffee Store" ... unfortunately its a balance of walking into a brand name store and smelling stale coffee, or hitting the local homegrown coffee shop and smelling stale hippies ... always a tough choice.

        Southwest USA

        I was in the southwest and visited a Starbucks. I got a mug that has a carabeener-like handle. It clips onto my military gear with ease. They're not available in the midwest, not anywhere I've seen. Now I have unique paraphanelia for when I get home.

        Aaight.

            Really, really never?

            I generally avoid the corporate coffee places. However, one could easily argue that the smaller niche market shops would never have spread if Starbucks hadn't come about. They treat their employees decently as well.
            God....I guess I was probably returning videotapes.

                  as horrific as corporate coffee may sound, their stuff aint all that bad.

                        i was watching something on the food channel about starbucks and they treat there employees great, something about because the owner grew up in some poor neiborghood.

                        so every employee has the oppurtunity to have insurance and they get paied decent. sounds cool to me, i should go apply.
