1. I know...what a bummer!

[Angry Dragon]

2. she was not arrested for masturbation but the pipe

just do not use a pipe to masturbate

[krispos42]

3. Well, then what's the point of the free WiFi?

???

[Kaleva]

8. Entrapment maybe?

[bluesbassman]

4. Yeah, thanks a lot Bin Laden!

Oh wait, that's airplanes. Nevermind.

[HopeHoops]

5. Well, shit. I'm not going THERE anymore. Wait. I don't go there anyway. Never mind.

[Kaleva]

7. If I where to go blind, Starbucks isn't where I'd want that to happen.

[HopeHoops]

10. You can't go blind at $tarbuck$ - there's very little coffee in that mix of sugar and spices cup.

[Kaleva]

12. It isn't the coffee that may cause blindness. It's the self abuse mothers warned us about.

[HopeHoops]

16. Yo - stay off of those web sites.

[MiddleFingerMom]

15. Au contraire, kinda. While Starbucks espresso shots are only 50 mg caffeine each...

.
.
.
... their coffee is rocket fuel by industry standards (and I drink coffee for "medicinal
effects" only -- though I will drink a white chocolate mocha for taste).
.
See the link to the energyfiend.com comparative caffeine chart below (click on
"coffee&quot . While the other "industry leaders" (McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, Tim Hortons)
are between 11-14mg of caffeine per oz of coffee, Starbucks is 21-22.
.
And it's not all THAT expensive for a venti coffee (their largest). Probably around
$2-2.25 still. You would have to drink 8 shots of espresso to match that. What would
impress me is if you could get a Starbucks barista to DISCUSS that caffeine level --
I never could. Even the friendliest, most bored amongst them would change the
subject or move away quickly.
.
I think it might be a fireable offense to discuss it. They must be preparing for the day
when someone tries to legislate caffeine as a pharmaceutical drug.

17. The last time I went to a $tarbuck$ was 12 or so years ago...

I asked for a small regular coffee and the "dude" behind the counter acted like I'd just ordered something in Swahili. He said something like, "You want a (some Spanish word for size) (some marketing word for regular coffee)?" I said, no, I want a small regular coffee. It still confused the shit out of him. And the fucker STILL cost $1.79. I should have just gone down to the McDonalds (also within walking distance) to get a REAL cup of coffee at half the price.

On Edit: It also tasted like water strained through dog shit.

[MiddleFingerMom]

18. It DOES taste like shit, hence the "only for medicinal purposes" -- but it IS human rocket fuel...

.
.
.
... and rocket fuel allows things (and people -- especially "lethargic poster children" like me) to become jet-propelled.
.
.
.
I never really liked the taste of tequila, but I drank it... a LOT of it... for medicinal purposes, too.
.
.
.
And it was DEFINITELY worth it to spend a little extra on it, for so many reasons.
.

[HopeHoops]

21. Yeah, but $tarbuck$ doesn't sell actual coffee - just diluted dog shit.

[surrealAmerican]

29. Really, because I know I was told that, at those prices, ...

... they "rob you blind"?

[HopeHoops]

30. That's why I call it "$tarbuck$".

6. I was wondering why I caught you

11. Obama's taking our freedoms!

[HappyMe]

13. Something we will be able to

tell the grandchildren. 'Yes, my little punkin, grandma remembers the day they put the kibosh on coffee and masturbation. Troubling times, indeed.'

[warrprayer]

14. not the Onion!

I can't even think of anything to say about this. Just too damn weird.

[Incitatus]

19. $5 for a coffee and I can't even masturbate there

That's bullshit!

[Kaleva]

20. This is one of my more discussed threads I've had. And it's about masturbating at Starbucks.

[nolabear]

22. Well, a straight line like that is hard to resist.

[MiddleFingerMom]

27. You've obviously hit a previously unexplored mother lode of shared experiences.
