I normally make a latte at home unless I'm short of time; then I'll stop off and grab one but NEVER Starbucks; for me they make the weakest, stalest tasting drinks. Even adding extra shots doesn't really help much. Caffe Nero is much better (2 shots by default) but sometimes I get the odd bad one from them.

Same thing happened to me in the Kingston branch..not my fav song but still good to hear when you're not expecting it

I rather surprisingly heard Mr Goodnight in a pub one night. Also caught Fury a few times over the last year in places I would never expect to hear Prince.

Never heard of Caffe Nero. I don't think there are any here.

I always find myself being a bit surprised when I hear a Prince song out in a public place.

Just another side note on the coffee for Starbucks patrons. They are now using 2% milk (lowfat) as the standard in all their drinks. So if you prefer whole milk in your steamers, lattes or hot chocolate...you have to tell them that's what you want.

I was in H&M (clothes shop) the other day, and mr goodnight came on, i couldnt belive it

This is all you need to know about coffee

What if P released a CD on the Starbucks record label just like Paul McCartney, would we only b able 2 buy it @ coffee shops?

Genesia said:

It was like that at the coffee shop I worked at (it was a small, local one, that no one probably has heard of). But we always asked what kind of milk they wanted. If they didn't specify (i.e. "i don't care") we'd give them 2%.

It's funny, cuz I do too. I always start singing along too.

My sis is funny because she knows I enjoy his music, so there has been a few times that she actually calls me on my cell to tell me she's heard a Prince song at a public place. It usually makes me laugh, so I'm OK with it.

I get all excited, myself. People stare at me.

The weirdest thing I ever heard was in the Birmingham UK airport... a full version of Alphabet Street.

I've also heard "What Do You Want Me To Do" and "Future Baby Mama" working there sometimes, not too often though. Co-workers look at me weird when I'm like "THATS MY JAM RIGHT DERE"

As for making drinks at starbucks; Its easy to make one, true, but its hard to make like 8 to 10 like nearly all at the same time

Okay I'm goign to put all my responses in 1 reply:

1. White tea is very good Nancy.
2. I heard Chelsea Rogers in Nordtrom not too ling ago and had to stay to hear it before I left.
3. Starbucks is ridiculously expensive.
4. I do love their peppermint mochas during the holidays and will buy those.
5. I hate how they make you order, why is a small called a tall dammit? i have no patience for that BS.
6. Just the other day when my alarm clock when off, the first thing I heard was: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together to get through this thing called life." A little scary at firs, but then I had to laugh as any hardcore Prince fan would have at something like that happening.
6. Prince seems to come on alot when I am in the car with my boyfriend. His response,"We can't escape him. "

wow new music! Thats nice.. enough of the stuff from 20 years ago in heavy rotation

Further proof that Planet Earth was a shit album...it's perfect background music for the most annoying coffee chain. Now if they played Superfunkycalifragisexy or Housequake or Erotic City in Starbucks...it'd be a different story.
