      Poll Shows 73% Americans Think Starbucks is Overpriced
      todd-the further along i read in your commentary, the more it seems you are an angry guy. i took the day off this past monday and around 11:30am stopped at one of 2 local sbux for a cuppa. now we know sbux is not what you would call a lunch place, but here is what i found. 5 of 7 outside tables were taken. inside, 2 tables had laptop users, and most of the remaining tables had customers in business attire or non-working people (like me). and there were about 4 or more in line behind me. quite frankly, i was very surprised how busy it was. can you explain it? the survey was probably paid for by mcd!

      Starbucks' New Brew Will Leave a Good Taste in Shareholders' Mouths
      coffee taste is a purely personal preference. if i need coffee and there is no sbux around, i get a mcd's and have tried dunkin. it makes me chuckle because with all the hype, there is no comparison between sbux and the others. i think the pike place roast is great. i like the aroma in my vehicle and the taste is great. my wife buys it for our home coffeemaker. as a sbux shareholder i think we all deserve a special dividend for our loyalty.

      Starbucks: Losing Traffic, Making Excuses
      mr sullivan: as a dissappointed sbux stockholder (a special diividend ala microsoft would be greatly appreciated) i will not quibble with your analaysis except concerning competition. my wife, recent college grad daughter and myself are big coffee drinkers. we have sbux in our coffeemaker in the morning and we all drink sbux daily at various stores. i sometimes get a mcdonalds coffee when there are no sbux around, and i also tried dunkin as they are opening new stores in indianapolis and gave them a try. there is no comnparison and i don't understand the rave reviews for their coffees. i personally don't like lattes, but will gladly pay an extra 60 cents for a great cuppa. maybe mcd traffic is up because of salads. instead of my annual visit to mcd for a big mac attack, i go there on occasion for a mcd salad. they are pretty good. now let me give you my wife's perspective. she loves the nonfat lattes and has one every day. the way she tells it, she doesn't spend money on lunch because she takes it from home. she is in a stressful job and for a daily break drives down to the local store where they know her and knows what she likes. she has a great experience every day for $3. she can't be the only woman in america who does this. i recently had a meeting at sbux from 8-9:30am. dunkin opened across the street 2 weeks ago. sbux was packed the entire time. an employee helped a professional woman carryout several bags of stuff. a group of mothers were at the table next to me with their young kids. (it was a little distracting) i suggest you personally get a coffee from the competition and sbux and then in your next analysis give a personal opinion. i know that numbers don't lie but there is way too much negativity on this company.

      ejk-maybe you are exaggerating on a 20 min wait, maybe not. i too would never wait that long and have driven right on by local starbucks when i see lines through the window. however, for perspective, i also drive by wendy's or pizza hut when i see long lines there. as far as service, my family is sbux fanatics and again, for perspective, with as many locations we visit on a regular basis, service is excellent, but like any other retailer, you will encounter an occasional bad experience.
