Rashomonster Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 well.... Starbuck employees are 16 year olds working so they can buy porno. actually, starbucks requires you to be 18 in order to work for their company. so i would actually agree that Starbuck employees all 18 year olds working so they can buy porno....and pot!

seeking Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 i think by 'child labor' he was refering to them using children to pick and process the coffee beans in columbia or wherever they come from. because folgers and hills bros. are all employing out of work 20 something civil engineers, right? and because there is alot of other options for employment in the fucking mountains of columbia right? and because picking coffee is so labor intensive, i mean, you have to but up high on those ladders, and...er wait, i mean, forget it. people that hate on starbucks are pathetic little fucks with home made anarchy tattoos, or one too many spins of the old rage against the machine cd. starbucks was named in furtunes '100 best companies to work for'. now i find it incredibly hard to believe that they would be treatiing their american employees so well, but their south american suppliers like complete shit. call me skeptical, but whatever. as someone said before, personally, i dont give a shit if the little coffee shops go out of business. if thats the case, then they obviously werent that dope to begin with. people go to starbucks because its convenient, not because they want to sit there for 5 hours playing fucking chess. small coffee shops are basically set up to be lucky if they break even. there simply isnt much money in scones and lattes. but thts not the point. so starbucks is putting a franchise on every street corner. obviously someone wants them there, since every single one of them is always full of people. they are basically creating their market as they go along. there were not small coffee shops on every corner before starbucks moved in, people just didnt drink much coffee. but now its the cool thing to do. whaaaa. whatever. im not mad at starbucks. they're paying their employees a hell of alot more money than they would be making at 'tim's java shack' ill fucking gurantee it. plus, they get benefits. how many folks do you know working at 'tina's beanery' that get a 401K, and a comprehensive dental plan? ZERO. if every business treated their employees as starbucks did, society as a whole would be alot better off. anyway, that was far longer than was warranted, but whatever. it pisses me off listening to 16 year old rich kids bitch about 'capitalism', when they have no fucking clue what they're talking about. false prophets are worse than blind ignorance. thank you and good night.

Tyler Durden Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Originally posted by ODS-1 They use fucking child labor. who cares? children have to work sometime. might as well be picking coffee beans for overpriced coffee to be consumed by rich yuppie teens in bleached diesel pants. and how else am i supposed to get my porno besides working at starbucks? oh..............wait......................................................*hugs cable modem*.

Guest Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 ahhh the ethics of coffee. seeking does have a point about starbucks having to maintain a certain level of responsibility just because all of the watchdogs are waiting to pounce on them. The coffee industry can be very good a self regulating but starbucks has grown to the size where no outside group can actually put much pressure on them and sway their practices. Starbucks just bought the 'Seattle's Best' chain that happens to own a huge number of roasteries. Now there are a huge number of people who dont want to do business with starbucks (for their own reasons) and they've since turned to the smaller indy roasters to get their beans. In a way the bias against starbucks can help the smaller shop. Now here's the point against starfucks. They burn their beans. this is a terrible offence. I'm not sure why they do it, but it seems to be a standard across the whole chain. Maybe they think they get more shelf life and less wasted grounds. This again has given the little guys a bit of a break. Figure that a cup of Starbucks coffee is likt the BigMac. It's not very good, but not that bad, so it sets the standard an indy shop has to beat if they want to make it in the specialty coffee industry. this is a personal topic for me.

Coffie Crave Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 1. starbucks puts out a good product...duh ! their forth makes them a big and well known company, they did not just come out with a ton of stores they had to build them selfs up. 2. child labor, haha where these kids live they are lucky to have a job ! 3. how can all you kids say stuff like this, after you just braged to your boy about your new hip-hop nikes??? and for a note, i know you guys proly think that underground unwell know stores are coo and hip, but if they did things right like startbucks they would be right under them if anything on top. !

Guest Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 one thing that bothers me about starbucks is the terminology. I went into one a while ago and asked for a double esprosso shot. The too-cool-for-school gu working behind the counter was like "you want a what?". Then he asks me how it's made. I dont care if they want to call it a doppio or whatever, but at least make the staff learn what the real terms are before they learn starbuckonics.

yoink Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Originally posted by Smart ... your order WILL be fucked up... so true, and so godamn funny too. I kinda feel ridiculous ordering by their starbuck speak, but know if I dont ill confuse the workers there. I no joke had a kid get sonfused when I said medium. Just because I didnt fucking say grande. I know thats not really an = to their coffee Jargon, but still come on, its not that tough to understand. But Im lucky theres about two good coffee places near my house in the artsy section of town, but if im out in the larger shopping area and feel like a coffee sure ill stop in and ask for a frappamochadoublecino or something along those lines (plus I get to browse books which is a plus.)
