Nothing annoys me more than when someone walks into the store and says, "I don't drink coffee." I just want to yell, "Then why the hell are you here?!" But of course I have to go through the whole speech about tea and steamers while they look totally confused and end up just asking for a glass of free water. If you don't drink coffee or tea, then don't come to Starbucks!

Yeah, except Starbucks is no longer about coffee. What is it? 70-something% of people order their espresso with some type of syrup in it. People just don't like the taste of it. Wasn't the price increase not supposed to affect Starbucks' core drinks...? Um, what are those exactly? Because espresso shots, lattes, cappuccinos, and drip coffee all increased.

When I got interviewed for Starbucks, the SM asked me if I like coffee and I said yes. He said "Well thats a plus! Our employees dont have to like it, but its a plus if they do." And I was like "why the **** would you work somewhere where you were SURROUNDED by coffee if you didnt like it???" but people are retarded. /end rant.

Manager hired someone who was disgusted by coffee... it was the only time I enforced someone to complete their coffee passport within the required 6 months.

Honestly, I copied all of my coffee passport entries from my SS. She's my best friend and I was too lazy to actually try any of the coffees. And too busy explaining about non-coffee drinks to the "I don't drink coffee" people, haha.

@EspressoSlinger - because people gotta pay the bills and it's a tough time to get a job nowadays, especially if you're still in school?

Yesterday, I opened a bag of Pike Place that was roasted in October, over two months ago. No wonder the coffee's so burnt. They don't want anyone to be able to taste how nasty it is. I think I'm done drinking the coffee.
