Changing direction on Coffee
April 29th, 2007
I can’t take Starbucks any longer! Mind you I’ve been a long-time customer going back to when it was only a Seattle place. A place where I could go to read a bit, do a little laptop work or make a few phone calls.
But NOT ANYMORE!
They’re so interested in selling music that they’ve installed speakers in every corner of the place (all the SBX’s in my area anyway) and they won’t turn the volume down. You can’t make a phone call and you can absolutely forget about settling into a good magazine or on-line read with their blasted noise coming at you from all corners, even from speakers outside the building!
Its no longer a warm soothing place to linger. Rather a cacophony echo chamber with average coffee.
So I’m changing my velocity heading somewhere else. For good. Unless I’m desperate.

Starbucks coffee is always not a premium coffee to start with but people seems like to stay there because they have cosy couches, a nice area to read and do some work. Also, the brand buiding is such a success as well. But nowadays, they are so commericalized that they lost all these values…. sooner or later , people will switch to somewhere else, leaving Starbucks to be a place to trade new CDs or DVDs. Well… may be they are restructing themselves for something different …who knows. After all, it is still the best company to work at least……Survey said.
If you are lucky, you may find a good place called….?? a green tea shop that you can have a fresh hot grained green tea with a muffin. The envirnoment is so wonderful that you can also take good pictures with a disposable carema for all the good memories…. Where is it?? around Bellevue area in Seattle I am afraid.
