Won't be fooled again:

Just so you know - and I believe you are halfway there - here's how it's going to work.

Some of the people on here are going to tell you to go away and they are eventually going to tell you to f*ck off (because you are censored otherwise) and they are going to most likely call you an asshole or douchebag.

Some of the people here take what you say about Starbucks personally. I don't understand it because they are employed by the company...it didn't give birth to them. I'd like to think for every ten or so people here who say you shouldn't have the right to speak your mind - that there is another one or two that are fine with it and are willing to discuss things in an intelligent way.

Fellow baristas,

Do yourselves a favor and ignore Mr Charbucks and his friend Fivebucks. They come on these websites looking to piss someone off. They're bottom-feeders who get off on getting a rise out of people. These are the type of people who spend their entire life calling every other single person on the face of the Earth a dumbass because in their warped minds, they know all.

If people want to hate Starbucks, let them. For every 2 people who hate us, there are 8 more who love us. Our customers love us.

Well as I recall "STACY", what I was saying, is that one can't blame all of the increase on gas. Someone earlier had mentioned gas numerous times, as if to blame the increase mainly on that - and that isn't true.

Now if you'd like to insult me, go right on ahead. If you want to call me a "bottom feeder" for giving my opinion that is fine too, but I'm afraid you're a few posts too late on that one. You should have been insulting me a handful of days ago along with everyone else.

I have made a valid point with my post above - and that is that the increase isn't solely nor mainly because of fuel prices. Now, if you have a problem with that, you are indeed, the bottom feeder.

If others wish to ignore me, that's fine too but I think I am being decent and polite thus far on this post, and you have attacked me for no reason other than that you have to have a target. If you don't like me coming on here, I'm sorry but I have the right - as you do - to express my opinions as long as I'm not personally attacking anybody.

I was telling "Charbucks" what to expect in my last post - and I stick by it. He does not have the popular belief here, so he will be attacked unfairly for it, as you are unfairly attacking me right now. Apparently you don't agree with our right to free speech, as I do, because you don't want me or anybody else who disagrees with you to have a voice on this site. I believe in those rights, so you go ahead and say what you wish about me.

Have a nice evening!
