cryptique Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 My parents are now in Xiamen, China, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept that they're halfway around the world. In other words, airplanes are cool. Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 well, breakfast was a big hit. I had two scrambled eggs, soft no pepper, and a half stack of well soaked french toast and three cups of tea. And my friend Monika came in just as i was ordering so she not only had breakfast wiht me, but she PAID TOO! I gotta take more days off if this is how they are going to be. In other news: i am wearing a turtleneck (gray) and a puffy vest because it is CHILLY here. Now i am off to buy some stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jules Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) If there is room for 30,000+ McDonald's stores in the world, I'm sure we can squeeze in 40,000 Starbucks. I've actually read a lot about the Starbucks real estate strategy. Interesting stuff. McDonald's is the same way. They own all the land. Edit: It should be noted Starbuck's does not typically own it's real estate like McDonald's. They're just really good at finding the best locations and lease agreements. Of course, store design is a key as well. Edited October 6, 2006 by Jules Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 viral or bacterial? Are you licking everyone's keyboard and phone? well, I was just peeing everywhere...that won't do the job? i know i shouldn't be here, but we have two massive product launches next week and i can't afford to be out. i don't know if i even actually have it, but the doctor said a lot of my symptoms seems to align and I did come off of having a pretty bad flu/cold not to long ago. she sent the chest x-ray to the hospital (which she said looke a tad cloudy in one little spot) and gave me some antibiotics. after tons of tests, it was nice to hear they ruled out strep, mono and meningitis.

bjorn_skurj Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The nectar is brewing. Â Dunkin Donuts coffee is king -- I believe they put something tasty and addictive(besides caffeine) in it. Â I don't get Starbucks -- 'do you want a triple tall half mocha skinnyfroth American double caramel cappacino?' Â No, can I just have a cup of coffee?I think Starbucks' regular coffee is better than Dunkin' Donuts. I refuse, however, to speak Italian at them. None of this "venti" bullshit. I'm all about "large regular, room for milk." Link to post Share on other sites

They're just really good at finding the best locations and lease agreements. Of course, store design is a key as well.  I have it on a good source that all land for new Starbucks locations are purchased. existing leases as they run out go towards this strategy. -Robert.

cryptique Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I actually spent some cash at a Starbucks this morning. I was at the grocery store anyway, and as it was kind of chilly outside, I thought maybe I'd try their hot chocolate because a few people have told me it's really good. It is not.   Also: I ordered it as a "medium."
