address all complaints to my boyfriend
--- Quote from: ephemere on 01 Mar 2008, 09:24 ---how can you say the two can't be compared when clearly you prefer one more than the other? sometimes people want coffee and sometimes they want fancy drinks that taste nice. there are places that serve both. the two aren't necessarily at war with each other.
i don't really buy coffee from either tim horton's or starbucks because i have concerns regarding starbucks' business practices and tim horton's frankly makes terrible coffee. still, i'd like to think ordering a soy mocha latte once in a while at a coffee shop that makes good coffee doesn't make me a pretentious or terrible person. maybe it tastes good. maybe i really enjoy soy milk. sometimes that is all there is to it.

Your right I do prefer one over the other, kind of like how stubbing my toe and eating a chocolate bar can't be compared however I do prefer one over the other.
It's not the fancy assed drinks that piss me off about starbucks though, and it's not the fact the clientelle is pretentious(that would make me a hypocrite, and it's bad enough I'm a pretentious jackass, I don't want to be a pretentious hypocritical jackass) it's the fact they might as well be McDonalds for the quality of their coffee. I much prefer going to a sit in fancy little coffee joint to going to Timmy's. If given the choice I would go to The Fyxx, a really awesome local chain in Winnipeg, my boyfriend says theres one or two in Vancouver as well. Point is they can actually make coffee that doesn't taste like goat ass. Drink all the damn soy milk you want, I don't care just don't do it at Starbucks.
Storm Rider:
I would plug my old employer here but since very few of the people here live in California, which is where over 90% of the stores in that chain are, it would probably be moot.
Patrick:
Tell me anyway.

As a worker, the management was occasionally infuriating, but the coffee (drip and bar drinks) is so much better and the beans are even more so.
Patrick:
Dude Peet's is fuckin' great. My stepbrother works at the one in downtown Livermore.
He gets free coffee beans every week.
