skyfitsboy Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Visited Starbucks today, now that its opened, was pleasently suprised with interior, much bigger than I was expecting from outside. It was a really nice atmosphere inside too and the staff was cool:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 What's the problem with Starbucks making money? As has been said before if you don't want Starbucks, go elsewhere. If existing coffee shops can be put out of business by Starbucks then it indicates that they're not giving people what they want and that Starbucks is. Starbucks isn't cheap, isn't the best coffee and many branches are not exactly relaxing environments, but people go there. I've found the attitude of Starbucks staff to be pretty good in the three or four branches I've used - Edinburgh, Leeds (2) and London. I've had good service in them most of the time, the odd bits of crap service - in other words just like any other eatery. I went to Mama and Leonies some years ago and I was not impressed - whether I got them on a bad day or not I don't know but I've not gone around damning them left, right and centre in the meantime. It's choice - Starbucks coming here increases the choice available. No one forces you to go there - no Starbucks customers are picketing small coffee shops. Just choose where you want to go and go. Let the market decide! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Starbucks looked empty on Saturday when I went past, I had to queue for 10 minutes to get a coffee at Zoobies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy C Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Originally posted by Sony Good ols sheffielder "I'll stick to what I've been doing for a years.." thats why half of the shops coming to Sheffield stay open for a year or so. Because of people like you who cannot accept that Sheffield is changing into a 21st century city... Zoobies is new, Sheffielders clearly didn't resist that change!

wibbles Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Originally posted by Captain_Scarlet The chain does has bucks in its name... How revealing can that be :D It also has star in its name. Maybe they originate from space and are run by green tentacled aliens who use the coffee as a form of mind control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 2 new starbucks are planned folks, and I'll give you one guess where they'll be: One on Division street planned to open in January 2005 and another one on Ecclesall Rd planned for April 2005 or sooner. Good news or bad news?? Good news for me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
