Typically, when I'm at work, I'll drink either coffee or a triple espresso.

I have heard that costco brand coffee is actually starbucks brand overstock. confirm/deny?

[/ QUOTE ]

Deny, they wouldnt dilute their brand in that manner.

[/ QUOTE ]

Deny b/c you're assuming starbucks wouldn't do that and risk diluting their brand or because you are aware of some type of real evidence that costco brand =/= starbucks?

costco brand coffee is pretty effin goot, BTW.

so, basically, your denial sounds like an opinion.

Aqua,

"This coming from the ex-wife of one of the inventors of the flavor."

From Wikipedia:

"One version of this story tells of an Uruguayan servant who was heating milk for some soldiers. Since she was angry with her master for ordering her to heat so much milk, she added lots of sugar into it to make it impossible for the soldiers to drink. She then left the milk heating, and when she came back, she found that the milk had turned into a brown jam. Her master was about to punish her, but a soldier who didn't want this to happen said it wasn't a problem and tasted the jam. He discovered it tasted very good, and after that dulce de leche started spreading throughout Uruguay."

Aqua,

Your wife, she was a Uruguayan servant?

The next day, they actually called each individual employee up to an empty board room in the building and interrogated them in front of a five person panel from corporate. They told her she wouldn't get in trouble if she, for all intents and purposes, "testified" to everything "bad" that happened at that Starbucks. She didn't, and no one else did. The guy who ate the muffin was fired, and three other employees were suspended indefinitely, which ended up being simply for the rest of the day because they soon realized they had suspended the only three openers.

How seriously they took the whole thing was amusing to me.

Cliffs Notes: The muffin eater got the venti punishment, while the other three got the grande, later reduced to tall.

to the douche that says "what about the people who take home coffee" it was CLEAR I wasnt talking about them, and neither were you until you got proven wrong, so gfy.

Are you schizo or just dumb? How can you 1st say that folgers bought in bulk from sams club cost 3.6 cents a cup (not .036 cents as you wrote) and then claim you were not talking about take home coffee. You make arguments like a 14 year old girl

[/ QUOTE ]


Because it was clear that I wasnt, thats why. Fine..even if you pay 10 cents a pound, what is your argument for spending more than 2 times the amount you should?

I used to steal broken/leftover pastries all the time. The amount of pastries we threw out each night was criminal

CB,

Have you banged any co-worker chicks?

[/ QUOTE ]

One coworker and I had a month long fling. Nobody at work knew about it, but I found out later that I could have been fired, because I out-ranked her. Also, as work relationships tend to do, it got weird. I've also hooked up with a few customers.

quids,

"I may be wrong here, but I doubt many people can tell the difference in taste."

Yes, you are very wrong on this point.

FWIW, I generally buy a $1.50 coffee about three times a week at a local coffeeshop (F STARBUCKS!!!)
