Sure, laugh all you want about brown-tinged swill or 17 sugahs or trans fats or that smirking Joker lookalike known as Rachael Ray, at least I never have to worry about being sneered at by some barista with an overendowed sense of importance who so cows me that I vow to get what he wants me to next time, that is, if I can ever summon up the courage to step foot in his store again.
... "Here's your ICED venti americano," he says, with a look of revulsion. ...

Similar to Bruegger's who formerly refused to toast bagels (asinine), I recall when Starbucks officially 'refused' to serve iced coffee. My friend and I were instructed to order a tall coffee with a separate venti cup of ice.
Yes! "But the bagel is hot"
Yes! "But the bagel is hot" they say. Hot is not the same as slightly crunchy and oh so much better.
She is an evil person and deserves to be sneered at
I clicked on her HOME link to read her blog after reading this post and she POSTED THE HARRY POTTER SPOILERS.
That is horrible. What a terrible, rotten person. I figured Universal Hub was the one place on the entire internet I could avoid the spoilers.
I am a pacifist and a forgiving person but I am so angry right now.
Well if the book is spoiled for you now...
...can I have your copy?
too bad boston doesn't have
too bad boston doesn't have any coffee choices besides dunkin donuts or starbucks.
oh wait, that's right, we do, and i havent gone to either in 3 years
The effete little coffee boy
The effete little coffee boy who hands out burnt coffee for a living is probably over-compensating for his feelings of career inadequacy.
The guy who thinks Rachel Ray looks like the Joker is probably overdue for his opthalmologic check-up.
A far worse example of Starbucks suckitude
Quincy Market Starbucks snot throws money at cancer survivor (skip the video; it's just a Star Warrish version of the text below it).
Via Only in Boston, Kids.
Oh, and yeah, Dave, as a matter of fact, I do need to schedule a visit with the opthalomologist. I've been putting it off because I'm afraid I'd be able to see Ray's annoying mug even better.
Customer Service in this city generally sucks, period
Doesn't matter if you're talking about Dunkie's, Starbucks, CVS, or whatever. That snarling attitude isn't specific to Starbucks. It's specific to jackasses who shouldn't be in public-facing jobs.
I will say, though, that for the last several months, I've had nothing but very pleasant experiences at the Starbucks on the corner of Dartmouth and Stuart. They have a really pleasant, helpful crew in the mornings, M-F.

Customer Service throughout the United States sucks...period.
Lousy Customer Service, unfortunately, is not just specific to Boston. The schnooks who really have no business in Customer Service are everywhere!
I'm not saying she isn't
I'm not saying she isn't annoying (I have no idea... I've never to my knowledge seen one of these DD ads on TV) but http://images.google.com/images?q=%22rachel+ray doesn't seem to turn up anything that reminds me of Cesar Romero in a green wig.
Yeah, But What About...
... Jack Nicholson?

Look at the photos here and tell me the middle one doesn't make you want to go out and boycott Dunkin' Donuts.
