Congratulations to Starbucks

I am going to be in France with my caffeine-addicted sister soon and I would like to know how to ask for a latte with an extra shot! My French is reasonable but not being a coffee drinker, I don't know that one.

My favourite is an 'Americano' - double expresso with a shot of hot water. Fabulous. What a pity you've had a poor experience gracemum. Haven't been to any Starbucks in England, so can comment, although I rather think they are like MacD's - the same everywhere.

Overpriced, I suppose so, but when it's in a book shop cafe and you get free entertainment and a nice sit down with a book, I don't mind. I like the way they do my coffee, but I suppose it's a matter of taste - if it's too strong, I'm wired for the rest of the day!

Unfortunately their coffee isn't.
Bland, weak and overpriced are just 3 possible descriptions.
Great atitude, shame about the coffee.

Oh! Barnes & Nobel - great bookshop, great concept - just love it.

Sometimes, just sometimes the Americans get some things right - this is one of them.

Me too - Starbucks in Barnes and Noble near Times Square, New York - a great place to sit in comfort and watch the world go by, read a few chapters of a book, and keep filling up on lovely fresh coffee. I've even had forty winks in there

I do pay for a starbucks coffee when in the States as they are very often in a bookshop where I can choose any book/magazine to read to my hearts content and then just replace it. I've had some very enjoyable hours doing that.
The card is a great idea.
I'd give my eye teeth for one just around the corner from here.

O.K.

Oh! I thought you'd been out and bought one! Durrr !

Don't mind me.

It'll just be one card presented to Starbucks HQ in Seattle on behalf of the 600,000 plus people who wanted them recognised for supporting the issue.

Think of the recycling bags!

And all the staff they'll have to take on to open them all. (Actually that's not bad!)

All part of giving the issue oxygen!

I know. But ............. thank you cards?!

I don't really think you need to be worried about either Carol or myself being taken in, Jingle. We are both fairly mature and savvy!
I wouldn't dream of paying Starbuck prices for coffee but this is a very worthwhile campaign.

I don't mind what their motivation is Jingl - I'm just pleased that so many have given the issue a high profile

Costa Coffee gets my money, by the way!

Carol you're not going to!!!

Starbucks are only after everyone's custom. (nothing wrong with that, just don't be taken in)

I've just chosen the card for it Greatnan - what a fabulous result in so few days

Our GN logo really says it all, doesn't it, Greatnan!

I knew I could count on your support in this struggle for equality.

That'll be a big help.
