oh so you're a cashier?

NO I'M A BARISTA IT'S AN ITALIAN TERM WHICH MEANS ugh nevermind just get out of my 'bucks before i call the polizia

If less folk confused the science of making espresso with the task of handling cash, I'd be drinking a lot more decent espresso. Thanks for fucking it up, NOCAL.

the science of making espresso

pretty sure they have a machine that does this

enjoy your $7 coffee, VASUDEVA

one time in new jersey i was walking with my girlfriend downtown near her house, and we're on the corner waiting for a light to change, just in front of a starbucks. these teenage kids drive by, hanging out the windows, yelling stuff.

i'm thinking, ugh what annoying little fags

and one kid yells, 'SEVEN DOLLAR COOOOFFFEEEEEE' right as they drive by

i wanted to shake that 15 year old's hand

What a heartworming [sic] story, Nocal!

Yes, because now with the dual advent of conventional and microwave ovens, anyone is a 5-star chef!

uhhh

so are you saying you don't go to starbucks, or are you saying that you pay $7 for the equivalent of microwave hot pockets in a paper cup

not that I'm a fan of starbucks. But what the crap are you ordering that costs $7?

A grande double espresso, half nonfat, half soy caramel mocha latte.

Thats almost one and a half cans of my Krogers coffee. Is the product really that good? Looking at the crowd inside kind of pegs my asshole meter.

No need to fixt^

Wrecker, Great description/avatar combo.

at what point can we reasonably say that something is no longer coffee

QED motherfucker

'pegs my asshole'

No anusmeats for you,Lance.

nocal: so are you saying you don't go to starbucks, or are you saying that you pay $7 for the equivalent of microwave hot pockets in a paper cup

This wasn't your point. Your argument was that baristas are glorified cash-handlers.

That Starbucks charges an awful lot for what is essentially coffee is undeniable.

That good espresso exists, and is worth doing well, is also.

P.S. '7 dollar cawfee' approaches 'Git-R-Done' in terms of meaningless clap-begging.

yeah that's true. because they have automated machines that do all their shit. i guess technically one has to have an arm in order to pull levers, and at least a stump to paw at a button or three.

I beg to differ, Git-R-Done is very meaningful when describing that time you farted and something farty happened.

I'd like call mom but I can't because Nocal is already phoning it in.

'yeah that's true. because they have automated machines that do all their shit. i guess technically one has to have an arm in order to pull levers, and at least a stump to paw at a button or three.'

Nuh uh. Thats just starbucks.

I agree with this, and when comparing regular coffee prices they are only a little bit more expensive, and sell a better tasting product.

Reasons I like Starbucks:

1) They are clean
2) (Usually) Hobo free
3) They sell quality stuff
4) As a corporation, they give a shit about overall customer service
5) They have comfortable seating
6) Their shitters are usually spotless
7) The feeling of superiority I feel when people look at my starbux cup and snortle comments about my $7 coffee.

Carries, in addition to new machines, refurbs at great prices, and they stand by their machines.

Starbucks: the front line of the upcoming class war.
