While Barack Obama wants to think the whole world is talking about him, and we're being treated to doom and gloom, the real conversation is about Starbucks. Is ours closing? Which one in Roswell will survive? (They're closing the one by Wallyworld). Well, we're saved here in Ruidoso. Ours is staying open.

| Comedian Jackie Mason's Take on Starbucks | | 2008-06-04 09:40:00 | | Around 20 years ago, I had the pleasure to share the stage with Jackie Mason for a private concert. This was before my days as a banquet manager. He was hysterical as usual.I came across these comments from him about Starbucks and thought you may enjoy a laugh. Be sure to remember Jackie Mason’s voice as you read. If I said to you, “I have a great idea for a business. I’ll open a whole new type of coffee shop. Instead of charging 60 cents for coffee, I’ll charge $2.50, $3.50, $4.50, and $5.50. Not only that, I’ll have no tables, no chairs, no water, no free refills, no waiters, no busboys, serve it in cardboard cups, and have the customer clean it up for 20 minutes after they’re finished.” Would you say to me, “That’s the greatest idea for a business I ever heard! We can open a chain of these all over the world!” No, you would put me right into a sanitarium. And it’s burnt coffee! It’s burnt coffee at Starbuck’s, be honest about it.

| Starbucks Free Pike Place Roast | | 2008-04-08 18:37:00 | | If you haven't noticed the crowds by your local Starbucks, they were giving out free coffee today (starting at different times at different locations), their new Pike Place Roast. I asked Lon to pick me up a cup on his way home from work if the wait wasn't too long, and by around 6:30 PM, there was no one on line. The Pike Place Roast tastes less burnt than their regular coffee but it's still very acidic. It's still not something I would buy. That's just my two cents. Here's what a lot of others think....They seem to be using their old logo again, but the words are different, reading Starbucks, Fresh Roasted Coffee. I'm kind of turned off by the fat mermaid but more importantly, I'm still turned off by their coffee. | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| Can Starbucks Improve? | | 2008-04-04 20:07:00 | | In response to our post on The Bean, Sheng wrote:"I'm not much of a coffee fan in general, but I've heard the buzz about Starbucks acquiring the Clover, some fancy shmancy machine that brews individual cups of coffee. Have they switched to this yet? Maybe that would improve the quality of their product?"Eater reports that Starbucks plans to acquire Clover, start a rewards program, and start an online community. Perhaps, they have heard our complaints. It seems that they have gotten the ball rolling, but the acquisition has not yet happened. When the new equipment is implemented, and the baristas are properly trained, I will certainly give it a try. Considering how they have locations everywhere, it would be convenient if they started serving good coffee. | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| The Starbucks Experiment | | 2008-03-03 16:46:00 | | I have hated Starbucks for a long time. They are symbolic of what I hate in the American food industry, a well marketed company with bad to mediocre product making the most money. I can't blame them for trying to be successful but as a true lover of food/beverages, I cringe at the thought of their coffee.Last Tues, Starbucks closed all 7100 stores across the country to re-educate their employees on how to make their drinks. I thought to myself, great, they are going to improve their product and I won't have to suffer during all the casual business meetings held at Starbucks. Today, I had some time to kill between lunch with my friend Dot and an acupuncture appointment, so I went to Starbucks to see what improvements they've made. I walked in, stood on line, bought my coffee, put my sugar and half & half in, walked out and took a sip. Nothing had changed. The experience was surely the same and the coffee was just as burnt as before. I took a few more sips and thought about it again. | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

Still totally awed by the depth of their customer management and personal approach to every customer, I was pleasantly surprised that they have confirmed the announcement about providing free Wi-Fi internet access in over 7000 Starbucks locations in the US! The place was already a haven and tranquil abode for many of us, and with this latest news, the coffee baristas have just upped their revenue and customer loyalty even higher! I can totally imagine myself and several others sipping the delicious coffee blends while finishing up on work or simply browsing the nest!Starbucks has teamed up exclusively with AT&T to provide free Wi-Fi access to AT&T subscribers as well as free two hours of Wi-Fi to those who make purchases at the world's largest coffee chain.

| Starbucks Leaving T-Mobile for AT&T | | 2008-02-11 09:21:17 | | Coffee giant Starbucks is moving from T-Mobile to AT&T for its Wi-Fi provider. And just like that, T-Mobile loses 7,000 HotSpots. In a deal that dates back to 2002, Starbucks was originally lined up with MobileStar and then T-Mobile. The switch is expected to happen in the second quarter of this year. So what happens to all of the current T-Mobile customers who already had an account set up? Good news! According to Starbucks, they get to keep their accounts. "In recognition of the many T-Mobile customers who enjoy visiting Starbucks, the Company is also announcing that T-Mobile HotSpot customers will be able to continue to access Wi-Fi services at no additional cost, through an agreement between AT&T and T-Mobile."Source: Wi-FI Networking NewsSource: BusinessWireAndroidGuys | The most trusted site for Google Android news and opinion.
