Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
depending on the person, it could be viewed as a win.

Yes, it does. If I still drank coffee I'd much rather make my own than buy that crappy stuff they try to pass off as coffee at Starbucks.

Yep, it's a win. StarYUCKs sucks. They burn their beans, which is gross enough, but they also use that cheap arabica bean. Which is grown in the lowlands, picked before it's ripe, and ripens in a warehouse. Whereas Colombian is grown high in the mountains and ripens on the plant. (Think about how you spend extra for vine ripened tomatoes because they just taste better. Same goes for coffee!)
People really need to come to their senses and stop drinking StarYUCKs.

Sadly Jami, that will never happen. No matter where you are there's a Starbucks no more than five minutes away from your house. I remember when I went to visit my mother in NY this past summer there were two Starbucks literally a block apart from each other!

What, a whole block apart? Here in the UK there is a chain of, well, they claim to be bakers, called Greggs. In one place called South Shields, they have two separate stores, with just one other store between them.

People need to make coffee at home, NC.
I remember about six years ago when I visited London for the 2nd time. Nearly all the tea shops had been replaced by StarYUCKs. I couldn't get a decent cup of tea anywhere. And this was in ENGLAND! The Tea Drinking Stereotype Of The World!
That, and I never could find a place that served steak and kidney pie, and I happen to love steak and kidney pie.
Stupid StarYUCKs. Denying me a decent cup of tea.

Truth in advertising.

Sorry to nitpick Jami, but you are confusing your beans. Robusta is the lowland variety of coffee, arabica the highland variety.
