I went into Starbucks today (as I usually do), and as soon as I walked in the door, the Prince song, "The 1 U Wanna C" started playing. It was like it was perfectly planned. I waited to see if the next song from the CD would start playing after "The 1 U Wanna C" finished, but it turns out that it was just that one song. Still cool nontheless.

That happened to me a couple weeks ago. I walked in just as he yelled, "Comin' on you like thunder!"

' if u wanna get creamy!'
oohh! i like a nice latte...
starbucks confuses me. in the uk, we have white coffee or black coffee. tht's the choice.

Starfish and Coffee would be an appropriate song also?

They were selling the Planet Earth album at Starbucks and at Whole Foods Stores when it first came out.

Are you kidding me? on my 5 min walk to work in Manchester I pass 2 Caffe Neros, 2 Starbucks and a Costa Coffee, plus a stack of other places serving espresso based drinks.

I hate to say this, but it's just dumb to talk about each and every time you hear a Prince song playing in Starbucks. "Why dumb-bunnies gotta act like erry-one wanna hear about they Bapes-n-shit!"

i thought it was 'grim up north'. well there u go - we all know now ur all a bunch of pretentious snobs!
when u get down 2 the nitty gritty, they're just tarting up a cup of coffee - in fact they're not drinks, they're desserts!
the hot choccy is nice tho

wickyb said:

Starbucks is ridiculously expensive.

I never heard of white coffee, but people say that white tea is very good.

Well, if you "hate to say this", then why bother saying it, just to be negative? Hearing the Prince song at Starbucks made my day, and your negativity is not going to change that. Save your negative comments to yourself, nobody wants to hear them anyway. You're not going to rain on my parade.

Hot chocolate.

No joke. Almost 3 dollars for a 16 oz latte...Give me a break...

Agreed, it would be cheaper to make yourself some at home. But I know people buy it for convenience too. It's easier to go out and buy it then to make it yourself.

She means it's got milk in it!

Its may just look confusing to people or the cost of a decent espresso machine may be prohibitive.

Just set your timer on your coffee pot, expresso machine, or whatever, and there ya go.

WTF - a dozen ways 2 enjoy coffee with milk! but it didn't stop there. they wanted 2 know what SIZE..after about half hour i finally got my drink. at tht stage i was wishing they made irish coffee

lottielooloo1968 said:

I thought the same a while back (about it looking confusing) until I worked at a coffee, shop...It's ridiculously easy to make an espresso...

We're somewhat on topic
