Leave My Coffee Alone
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2003It’s stories like this from Houston, Texas that just make you want to order two grande lattes instead of one in the morning…
Employees at as many as 16 area Starbucks were greeted Sunday morning with stores whose doors had been glued shut, police said, in objection to the ubiquitous chain’s “corporate coffee.”
Protesters placed glue in the locks at several stores in central and western Houston and left behind fliers.
“I bet you are wondering why your local Starbucks is closed this morning,” one read, according to Houston Police Department spokesman Alvin Wright. Attempts to reach officials with Starbucks on Sunday were unsuccessful.
“This dispute appears to be part of an ongoing conflict between these individuals and the chain,” Wright said.
Employees were able to unseal the locks and opened for business as scheduled, Wright said.
How stupid. Let me tell you something about Starbucks… For one thing, the coffee is great. I know, I get a fresh cup every morning before going to my office. Second, as a former employee of Starbucks, I learned a few things about the “big, bad, scary corporate coffee giant” that just doesn’t jive with what these morons want to believe.
At the time of my employment at Starbucks (the summer of 1999) the entire company had a total of 1% of the world’s coffee market. Over 90% of the world’s coffee market belongs to grocery store bought coffees.
Stay away from my coffee, you moronic protesters.
