More tolerance from the left.

I would first say it's unlikely someone would wear a Trump shirt to Starbucks without the intention to troll. She's not a victim - she successfully baited them.

That doesn't absolve the hippie kids working there from being idiots who swallowed the hook. They all deserve to be fired for treating a customer this way.

My takeaway is customer service is a dying art. Sometimes you have to deal with procotive customers like a grown up.

I've only been inside a Starbucks once and walked out after reading their price list. I drink mine hot and black and don't like that foo-foo stuff anyway. The only flavored coffee I drink is Pinon coffee from New Mexico.

I own a Technovorm Mochamaster coffee maker. It makes a French press jealous and is easily on par, if not better, than the Starbucks commercial brewers. It produces a true expression of the bean and the roast. Starbucks is average coffee at best without all of the shit people put in it. Hell, even the Wal-Mart Marketplace branded single origin coffees blow Starbucks away.

it's amazingly awesome to see the democrats social policy plank paint themselves in the same corner the religious right had done to pre-trump republicans.

slick willies don't ask don't tell popped the cork into what has become full on rainbow flag waiving reverse bullying where it's not just enough to be respectful you have to proactively waive the freak flag to be a democrat.

i can promise as we've already seen with unions last election the dems will destroy themselves.

ps jimmy kimmel used to be funny but the five minutes of opening monologue ripping trump as tired

the other jesters i've done nothing but flip thru

When I go on a juice diet I usually buy my produce at Whole foods just because I get a better product so I don't mind paying a little extra. Well one day I was running around OKC and needed to stop by there and grab a few items. I wasn't thinking at all and didn't realize I had my Ted Cruz shirt on. I usually talk to a few of the workers and always have had wonderful customer service. When I walked out I told my wife "what was everyone problem in there". When I got home I was changing into some shorts and t shirt and then it hit me oh you had a republican politician shirt on. It is the only time I have had Whole Foods workers just ignore or be dismissive to me.

I find this line of thinking odd if someone walks into our office with an ou shirt on I don't even think twice about it and I provide the same level of attention to them just like I would anyone else. Money is money and like Mega said sometimes we have to be adults and accept that others might think different.

Don't expect educated, thoughtful people to think of you as someone they want to engage if yo're wearing a Ted Cruz shirt.

Was anyone abusive or discourteous?

No it doesn't.

Starbucks didn't become a multi-billion dollar company by selling shitty product, although it is now a convenient coffee-hipster punching bag.

McDonalds is also a multi-billion dollar company. Multi-billion doesn't necessarily equate to the highest quality. Starbucks made their name with variety, service, and consistency, plus they've got a great store atmosphere unlike anything before them. If you think they make a great cup of coffee, that's awesome. I'm not judging. For me, all of their coffee is essentially the same, all dark roast stuff. There is literally zero difference between their French Roast, Italian Roast, Sumatra, etc. They've been very successful with dark roast because it's very easy to make decent coffee with dark roast. They've struggled with lighter roast coffees because they are much more difficult to roast and brew in mass.

I'm not a coffee-hipster or even a coffee snob. I just like variety and I don't drink coffee with anything added to it. Much like I don't want to drink the exact same wine varietal everyday, I don't want to drink the exact same coffee everyday. That's exactly what Starbucks offers and there is a huge market for that as they've very well demonstrated.

I saw that. You'll be wearing a crochet sock hat before the new year.

Here's what my coffee plantation foreman buddy in central american tells me. The bean is so acidic and inedible and green that any "taste" is unrecognizable to the modern coffee drinker. The taste we enjoy is largely the burnt flavor. It's like discussing whether the green persimmon came from virgin horse dung in the andes. NOW discuss.

Of course raw beans aren't good to taste in any form. But the beans are different from each other once roasted, unless they are all roasted really dark, and then they mostly begin tasting the same. An Ethiopian Gedeb Yirgacheffe tastes nothing like a Jamican Blue Mountain Peabody in light and medium roasts.

The high end coffee beans are for suckers. Any difference in an acidic bean flavor after its burned is negligible.

You must not have ever had anything but "burned" coffee then. I roast mine. And they aren't "high end." I can buy both of the coffees I referenced for less than $8 per pound. Most are around $5-6 per pound. Sure you can buy stuff that is $30+ per pound, but I'm not buying that shit unless it's professionally roasted to its optimum profile and is guaranteed to give me a handy while I drink it.
