Mmm, Starbuck’s. One of the first companies that really got national distribution right when it comes to coffee. When it comes to customer service and making a fine cup of coffee, they’re hard to beat. Plus, with their efforts to help recycle, reduce their environmental impact, and supply AIDS medicine, what’s not to love?
Hate:
Isn’t it a little too much, though? “Oh, I’ll have a half-caff half-fat soy latte grande with rose scented syrup, please.” What happened to just taking some coffee beans, grinding them up and passing water through them? Seriously, we used to do that. And it cost 50 cents. Sure, before Starbuck’s the coffee was often weak and the standard of service was low, but at least it was cheap.
