| The cakes and pastries at Starbucks are a rip off. They could easily offer it for cheap and thus sell more, but they seem greedy. |

Well I know that I don't have one real close..in a way it's good for my wallet...I would be in there 24-7....When I was living on the West Coast in Spokane, WA my friends and I would study and chat for hours in my local Starbucks..good memories...I think it's a cool place..but like I said, the prices are getting too high..but I still love the hot chai in the winter  |

Did you figure this out all by yourself? Perhaps while sitting in your surfshack watching the ships come in over the horizon? I'm afraid that in the past I haven't given you nearly enough credit! |

STARBUCKS IS EVERYWHERE AND I LIKE IT, I LIKE IT A LOT!
Well yes, it's a bit pricey, I mean for $ 3 I can buy a muffin mix and make my own at home but they just do not taste the same!
The lattes, well they make the best, rarely if ever does the coffee taste over steamed, burnt actually, which is great! Second Cup here in Toronto, the machines aren't the same maybe. I saw that the ones Starbucks use have a timer so the barrista can time how long the coffee takes to pour.
It has to be within a certain time frame otherwise they dump it.
Yuri and I took a little drive to another city, Oakville last weekend and lo and behold, they had a Starbucks! I said, okay, I can move here, there's a Starbucks. Mind you, the folks living in Oakville can afford it, they have some pretty big gated homes there, like these houses are like mini mansions, some of them quite old too, very beautiful.
Starbucks addict I am!

It cost $5.00 for a small (tall) Starbuck flavored coffee. Starbuck's is everywhere where I am from. |
