Designer coffee chain that exploits coffee farmers all over the world in their quest for world domination of the beverage market.

A national coffee chain that promotes a "home-like atmosphere" in their stores. Many people consider their coffee and espresso drinks over-priced, and for the most part they're right. Their coffee makers are... decent, but they're the real rip-off, not the coffee; you'd be better off paying half the price for a Cuisinart, which would work just as well, if not better. If you want to invest in this company, you have to go through NASDAQ and not NYSE.
Interesting fact: there are about 200 Starbucks in New York City and about 90 in my hometown of Houston. Now THAT'S a helluva lot of coffee.

I personally like Starbucks' whole bean coffees. When you buy a pound of beans from them, it's pretty much the same as 2 half pound bags of coffee beans from a grocery store. And they stay fresh for a much longer time, so I guess that's where the extra money goes.

A coffee store that gets all of its coffee from slaves in Africa and people who go there think that they are such good people by giving money to the slaves but they are too stupid to realize that SLAVES DON'T GET PAID!!!
Chantal went to Starbucks to buy a coffee and give money to the slaves but she was too stupid to realize that SLAVES DON'T GET PAID!!!

Overpriced corporate coffee-house and symbol of American cultural imperialism. Attracts trend whores by falsifying an artsy and intellectual atmosphere of social responsibility. Bane of entrepreneurs worldwide.
