Perhaps the prices are high, but that is the market they cater to! I don’t think Starbucks has stagnated, especially when I am waiting in the drive thru early every morning!

Comparatively speaking, a couple years ago the line moved much faster, not anymore…another reason why I don’t go to Starbuck’s as often.

The lines are long....too long.I've had a few unpleansant starbucks experience. Barista couldn't get my coffee and bagel order right.A staff gave me an attitude because they were closing soon and wanted me to leave asap. Hello? the entrance was open, they let me order, so as a paying customer I think I can seat for the 5 mins to finish my pastry.I actually don't go to starbucks as often as I used to. I think Starbucks' service has go down compare to a couple years before. I gather that you didn’t go to Starbucks during the morning rush hour. The lines are long….too long.

(haha) While I can't afford to drop in the stores every day, I enjoy making it a special occasion (weekends with the kids) and daily brew the SBUX stuff I buy at the grocery.For a time I was short SBUX and made some decent money. I obviously covered too short and I think part of the reason I covered was because I couldn't justify the fact I was a frequent customer and yet short the stock. Sort of like when we were short KKD and my boss kept bringing in those warm sweet wonders of the 20th (and 21st) century.Anyway, I hope you're right on the stock. I'll always be a loyal customer but I can't justify being a shareholder until they begin to show a little more traction.Got to quit now - time to refill my cup.

I have been in Starbucks around the country & feel very good about the experience.I own Starbucks stock & do not plan to sell it. It's one of my Warren Buffet type of stocks.I only drink coffee when I go & there is no way it is expensive. I have to pay more in any restaurant I go to, IHOP, Denney's etc. & their coffee is flavored water.McDonalds vs. Starbucks There is no comparison. I will never go to McDonalds to enjoy a cup of coffee. They are dirty, noisy, places with plastic chairs. I have never had a bad Starbucks experience.
