<p>I got a job at my local Starbucks.</p>

<p>On top that it being inherently awesome that I’m working here, It’s even better because I can potentially transfer to the Thayer Street Starbucks at the end of the summer. And that would be amazing because I’m a total caffeine junkie, and this would save me tons of money. And then there’s the prospect of having spending money, too. And that Starbucks gives its employees $500-1000 per semester towards tuition. And that it’d be a great way to meet some of my fellow Brunonians who I wouldn’t normally see ever (no doubt every Brown student loves Starbucks).</p>

<p>I love Starbucks, therefore I am a Brown student. </p>

<p>I hope that's how it works. :p</p>

<p>Congrats on getting a job! I tried to get a job at my local Starbucks, but there were like 30 kids from my school applying, and I had the worst available hours, so.... I didn't get it. Shucks. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Hope to see you there... and I probably will (if I go to Brown) because I live off Starbucks. Mmmmmm... tasty.</p>

<p>hmm.. my brown interview was at starbucks...in georgia....does that count? lol :D</p>

<p>Do you know what would rock! If Starbucks were open later. Anyone else get into the middle of a paper, due the next day, and feel the urge to sleep. I always want my Caramel Frap, but it is about Midnight all I could use would be and energy drink and they don't quite do it for me.</p>

<p>I wish I had the time to get a job because it seems like everyone has one. I know not having a job sounds so sad, but now it seems like people from my school are getting them and it is just weird.</p>

<p>Congrats again on getting the job! I love Starbucks, so, if I can afford it next year (which is unlikely), I'll definitely come visit.</p>

<p>I definitely want to get a job at Starbucks, they always manage to get very cool people working there. Altough I can't really explain why, I do pick up on Brown vibes there, but I haven't even visted the school so who knows. What's everyone's favorite drink, mine is probably peppermint mocha, and i also like chantico. It actually taste a LOT like the drinks in Italy that they were trying to emulate.</p>

<p>white chocolate mocha, all the way!</p>

<p>darn it.now i want one.</p>

8

<p>The Thayer Street Starbucks is SUCH a great Starbucks.</p>

<p>There are better coffee shops around campus...Ocean is on...Angell I believe, which is pretty good, and there's a fair trade place nearby I think, which is where most of the coffee bars in the academic buildings stock stuff from.</p>

<p>congrats! I'm thinking about getting a job at one of the starbucks around here. do you have to be 18?</p>

11

<p>no , you don't although I dont know what your local regulations are</p>

12

<p>Starbucks is ok, but the coffeeshop where I work is the antithesis of starbucks, and much better. And, it's open later!</p>

13

<p>chai over coffee anyone?</p>

14

<p>yesss rory.. i'm with you all the way :)</p>

15

<p>I drink tea. It's only $1.87 for a venti.
I do indulge in a mocha frap from time to time...</p>

16

<p>While I hate the fact that Starbucks is pushing out the local coffee shops (this one that I loved closed about a year after Starbucks opened nearby), they do treat their workers pretty well, which I think is cool.</p>

17

<p>I hate that a Starbucks small coffee costs more than our large coffee. And it's not even like Starbucks is unspeakably great coffee. What a ripoff.</p>

18

<p>I was at a 5 hour Starbucks propaganda meeting.</p>

<p>Starbucks coffee costs more because of the incentives they offer to the plantation owners, and their harvesting and roasting methods are better (roasting causes each bean to lose 18-25% of their weight, while it's only about 10% weight loss in other beans, that means Starbucks removes more water to leave fuller tastes).</p>

<p>We also tasted commercial coffee and Starbucks coffee together, and Starbucks coffee was the obvious superior. Starbucks is "the premier purveyor of the finest coffee in the world," near as I can tell.</p>

19

<p>Oh, Starbucks is good, no denying it, but for a 40% increase in price, it's just not worth it. (We brew Green Mountain.) </p>

<p>So what's the difference between starbucks incentives to plantation owners and fair trade coffee?</p>

20

<p>they build hospitals and other random humanitarian crap</p>

<p>i really don't care, i get free coffee anyway</p>
