Thread Name: Starbucks under terror threat
Subject: RE: STARBUCKS UNDER TERROR THREAT
For you folks who think us cops enjoy everything we do, I have to point out that if I was directed to guard a Starbucks, I'd do it, since it's my job, but I wouldn't like it. I believe that Starbucks started when someone burnt a huge batch of beans and salvaged them by coming to the conclusion that if they marketed the coffee to Yuppies at an inflated price, the yuppies would buy it so they could brag about how much they had to pay for it. It worked. That stuff is foul. No cop that I know would drink that muck. Starbucks has a habit of putting up their stores wherever they find a successful Mom & Pop coffee place, usually putting them out of business. If I need gourmet coffee, I'll stick with the locally owned places. Personally, I'd rather have good old Hills Bros. coffee brewed at home anytime.

Oh, yeah, I don't know any cop who eats donuts. I think we're trying to be healthy these days, and hopefully, that stereotype will die out soon.
