Someone recently suggested to me that #Starbucks has "improved" in Australia and convinced me to try it again.
I can safely say after grudgingly agreeing to try it again yesterday, while it might be possible to say that it has "improved", it is "improved" in the same way that eating 3 rat turds would be an "improvement" over eating having to eat 5.
CRONYIST innovation is publicly funded. Some people the current situation and conclude that profits should be made public (often with precious little thought as to what that looks like). Capitalists look at the current situation and conclude that funding should be and remain private. Capitalism is a profit and loss system; cronyism seeks to make the loss public and keep the profits private.
What awful company (for an awful anti-union crusade) to be keeping.

Starbucks has long offered unusual drinks that are unique to their international branches, but this new flavor really takes the cake.
To celebrate the Lunar New Year, the coffee giant's China stores will be selling a pork-flavored latte that comes with pork sauce and a chunk of pork meat resting on top. That's a lot of pork.
The limited-time item, named "Abundant Year Savory Latte" or "Lucky Savory Latte," will cost 68 yuan, or roughly $9.45.

@gpollara@omar_bayramoglu@coffee I’ve found Starbucks to be at its most acceptable when I order a short, and I get blonde roast. The ratios are better in a short, and “blonde” is what they call their “not burnt” roast. 😅
Was shocked today went to #Starbucks for a small (12oz) cup of just regular coffee. They wanted $4 for it so I walked out, went home, and made it myself for like 20 cents.
Starbucks sued for allegedly using coffee from farms with rights abuses while touting its ‘ethical’ sourcing -lawsuit calls for the coffee chain to end its “unfair & deceptive” trade practices and argues that the co is aware of the child & forced labor on some of its supplier farms -cites reporting about human rights & labor abuses on specific coffee & tea farms in Guatemala, Kenya & Brazil-.
… if all goes well, I should stop by #Starbucks to get me a cappuccino before watching the #Giants game today. I need something to clamp down my nerves yo. #NYG#NYGiants@nfl#nfl
