Let 'em stew in their own juices, I say! If there was some way to harness my loathing for this project, I could power a bungalow. ;-) |

Obey. Consume.

| How about committee-designed fake postings for Tai Chi in the Park, Cat Sitting Services, Vegans-4-Peace meetings. All the phone numbers, email addresses and web sites should redirect to S'bucks. That and subliminal messaging mixed in with the music. | |

| this is kind of funny... it just shows how Starbucks wants the message board as a decorative piece to add to the "community feel." A real coffee shop would put up a message board and wait for the community to start using it (which they would), not contact the press and ask them to beg for the community to come use their board... Starbucks, you are trying way too hard. | |

You people...

I don't get all you Starbucks haters. You whine that they are soul-less with the homogenized cookie cutter decor and charbroiled coffee. So they listen to that and come back with a new concept that individualizes the store to fit the neighborhood (and Linda *doesn't* have a patent on distressed wood, faux vintage decor) and allow the store managers to offer local coffee beans if they find something they think customers will like, and to top it off, hire artisan baristas that know how to do more than push buttons. All this effort to give you what you want and you still hate on them? Come on' people. They are a locally headquartered global company that has done more for the economy and lives of thousands of Seattlites than all of the independent (god bless 'em!) coffee shops combined. The people that work at Starbucks (HQ and stores) are our friends and neighbors and are no more evil than the rest of you stone-casters. |

RE: You people...

| I don't hate Starbucks, and I do appreciate that they're trying something different... I just think it's funny how hard they're trying to cultivate a community feel. And they're just so clumsy in how they're going about it; sending "observers" to indy coffee shops, calling the media to tell people to come post stuff on their message boards. It just plays into their image of being out of touch and overly-corporate. | |

Dear Mr. Red Chair Salon

More press? Wow.

|
| Are you going to the media viewing today at 3? Or are they not considering CHS "media"? | |

I think my initial comment could be taken in a harsh tone? I'm actually excited to hear your reaction/see a photo or two. Thanks. |
