Yeah, I joined a blogring yesterday and it's called 'Baristas Unite, Starbucks Sucks!!'. To me, Starbucks generally sucks. Let me list the ways they motherfucking sucks!!

Number 1 is the 'frappuccino' name, you have to give it to them to think up of a name like 'frappuccino' as a way of categorising their ice-blended drinks. In fact, it has become so bloody popular that stupid customers only understand when a drink is ice-blended when you tell them, "It's like a frappuccino." But when they go to Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf, they sort of automatically knows what is ice-blended. What a total pack of shit.

Number 2 is the fucking stupid procedure they do before they proceed to do their "fuckaccino", oops, I mean 'frappuccino'. Let's say I order a Green Tea 'fuckaccino' without any whipped cream, they have to repeat the drink when the cashier calls out the drink to them (fine with me, coz that's the standard procedure at almost every coffe chain or cafe you go to), but it's the next step that really fucking piss me off the most. They have to write down the shorthand letters on the fucking plastic cup the drink you order, followed by some more shorthand ticks or whatsoever on whether the customer wants any whipped cream in their 'fuckaccino'. Get a life, Starfucks, oops, again I mean 'Starbucks'. I'm fucking sure your baristas have more things to remember, like latest promotion drinks and the method to doing them, then to remember how to write shorthand words on the damn fucking plastic cups.

Number 3 is that they don't use any teaspoons, just stirrers. So when their customers came to other cafes or coffe chains other than 'Starfucks', they'll ask around for teaspoons, especially when your cafe runs out of it and they insist on having on for them fucking coffee. So, it seems to me that at 'Starfucks', it's alright to use a fucking stirrer but at other coffee chains, it has to be a fucking teaspoon, right?

Number 4 is their condiment bar where they leave out milk, sugar syrup and plain drinking water with small drinking cups for their customers to help themselves to. Sure, it's a fucking good idea especially when it's busy and customers come up to the counter and bug you for drinking water, sugar syrup and shit like that. The ironic thing? 'Starfucks' customers know all these are at the condiment bar and 'Starfucks' staffs are not bothered at any time regarding these stupid fucking neccesssities.

Number 5 is when they send out coffees and food items to their customers. Understandable that this is called customer service. But only fucking use it when it your shop is fucking quiet with not much fucking customers. Instead, they chose to do this 'customer service' thingy and now every fucking goddamn customers who have been to 'Starfucks' will automatically think that at every cafe they go to, they are expected to be served their fucking coffee and fucking food if they have to wait a fucking short 1 to 2 minutes. You fucking customers think I'm so free to send out your fucking coffee and food, is it? I'll only do it if these fucking customers drop in a SGD50 note into my mother-fucking tips cup.

Number 6 is the different temperature they heat up your coffee when you either sit in or take out. I noticed a few times that when I asked for a take-out, 'Starfucks' baristas like to heat up my soy milk latte so damn fucking hot and it literally scalds my tongue but when I asked for a seat-in cup, the temperature is just fucking right. Are they stupid or what? They use a goddamn thermometer to gauge their milk temperature and yet they can make my coffee boiling hot when I asked for a take-out? They might as well not use the stupid thermometer in the fucking first place and burn every customers tongues as and when they please. So much so that customers who go to other cafe other than 'Starfucks' will ask for their milk to be around 120 degrees. You fuckers think my hand has an in-built thermometer that can gauge the temperature of the milk, is it?

Number 7 is the moronic fucking thing about their bearista bears. What's with those teddy bears for sale? You think you guys are operating an adopt-a-bear for charity? Scrape off the bear, people go to a coffee chain to buy their daily fix of coffee, not to buy a fucking teddy bear! Besides, you don't suppose the teddy bear will turn into a cup of coffee when I'm short of money to buy a cup of coffee is it?

Number 8 is the fucking fact that despite opening up so many other chains worldwide, the in-store sitting capacity is so small, you'd think 'Starfucks' are entertaining rich little nursery kids who can squeeze like 7 or 8 of them into a long sofa seat? Be realistic, if you want a bigger piece of the pie, have a fucking bigger place.

Number 9 is their appointed stupid fucking study time in their Singapore branches. It has simply gotten so worse that students are spilling over to my shop to revise their homework. I mean, isn't homework or schoolwork supposed to be done in school or home? Why do your schoolwork, projects and revising in a cafe and deprived other people of having a seat and enjoying a cup of decent coffee.

Numer 10 is the fact that 'Starfucks' stole Pacific Coffee Company's idea into incorporating a newspaper/magzine rack so that their customers can browse through the daily newspapers and look cool drinking a cuppa while reading some old magazines? What else is 'Starfucks' going to copy next? The Internet terminals at Pacific Coffee? Or the large seating capacity at the Vivo City located within Pacific Coffee? Are 'Starfucks' so short of thinking up their own ideas that they have to basically stole ideas from other coffee chains/cafes to make their own cafes look better and nicer? Fuck 'Starfucks', I say!!

All in all, I've said my piece. And my my total honest opinion, whatever shit you see customers pulling at your own respective coffee chains/cafes, it all started with 'Starfucks' in the first place. Let us all 'Starfucks' haters boycott 'Starfucks totally and see what other shit can they come up with?
