All the high schoolers in our area always order a venti extra caramel caramel macciato or "something that doesn't taste like coffee..." That comment cracks me up, it never fails about once a week you hear someone say, what do you have that doesn't taste like/have coffee in it? It's like you can't help but wonder, what's the point right? I also like getting the "secret" drinks, things that aren't on the menu but are well known, like a red-eye, a black-eye, a blended strawberry lemonade, or a tuxedo/zebra mocha. Wow... I am in so deep, this is so so sad. what’s funny, is that at least in our town, you can almost always tell what certain people will order as they walk in, even if you don’t work there.

My Starbucks has a great location... right next to a Panera Bread with free wifi. Best of both worlds. It’s only an addiction if you want to quit, and who would want to do that?

It's so clear in costumer's eyes that they're actually adicted. And coffee chains make more profit than banks! This is the kind of culture we're in: we need kick ups every hour in order to function 'normally' - but where the hell is this pattern leading us?? I'd prefer the leisurefull and unique natural hype.

I'd much rather support the indy in town, and perhaps I should give them another shot in the mocha department. But it's just been too inconsistent for me (ditto at Fuel). You've reminded me of an incredible annoyance I have with the Starbucks in Salem. There's the wonderfully beautiful <a href="http://salemopen.net" rel="nofollow">free open wi-fi</a> here throughout the downtown, yet Starbucks chooses to stick with T-Mobile, which costs $$. Terrible. And not exactly embracing the community there. Mike – Right on, re: Front St. I’m a regular there for the sandwiches, but have yet to get a latte that rivals Starbucks.

They're closer to your office than Starbucks and serve sandwitches too. Also, they're part of salemopen.net, a heck of alot better than Starbuck's T-Moblie Wi-Fi.
