starbucks makes me very very sad!! funny article everyone

[shy_violet1]

so yeah i used to work in a coffee shop a long time ago. and i used to HATE it when people wouldn't even look up at the damn menu and order a drink from it and try to ask me for the equivalent of a starbucks drink. we weren't even a starbucks store ::Sighs:: so so so sad. one thing that is scary is the amount of starbucks out here. anyways, this article makes me laugh sosososo much because any of my friends out there who enjoy a really good latte, cappuccino, mocha or chai know that some starbucks don't get the drinks right and it's really annoying!! and the prices are horrible too!! this article says that feb 26 they are going to shut down their star bucks stores to "RE TRAIN" the baristas!!!!! that is hysterical; from reading the article they aren't going to change the barista espresso machines (which they need to fix; so it is a real espresso machine not the kind like at dunkin donuts, press button and espresso comes out,) i used to work barista and real espresso machines aren't just little buttons u press you have to take out the (forget technical name of item) long piece, put it under machine to get espresso out; press it down and then put it back up in the machine properly.

some starbucks actually do this; but alot don't!! it's so sad that the big co from seattle can't deliver a good cup of espresso. there is an incredible local coffee shop that me and my fiance go to and it isn't starbucks. it is a wonderful; small coffee shop that knows how to make real espresso.
