E.g i wear Topman/River Island etc, because they're well advertised. They aren't cheap, and they aren't the best. I only really buy em because it's a nice image.

Ouch, he's banned...but I suggest you edit this out before he rinses you in 3 days time.

Ah, he (or anyone else for that matter) can argue all they want. End of the day, it's a forum. If someone annoys me, grand, so well be it. I'll just go off and enjoy real life

No, but Starbucks etc.. they're different to other things you can insult someone for. There's just something about those types of places which makes them and the type of people that go there complete twats, for the most part. Mainly I don't like it because it's basically an extension of what Apple is. Just another place where shit is overpriced for absolutely no reason (it's not like you're paying extra for the quality, cos there ain't none, just like Apple) and the most probable reason is that it's just overpriced, because it is, and there are people who will continue to go there, or buy their products, purely because it's what they think is for "image" reasons, again, just like Apple products.

Or maybe... just maybe... I happen to think their drinks are tasty. You people are fucking morons.

@Kmar they still have red cups where you live?

Why did he get banned?

Also, for the most part, brand names are expensive for a reason. BMW's etc.. are more expensive for reasons we all know, so cars is an invalid argument. But when it comes to Starbucks/Apple etc.. it just doesn't make sense except for the fact that these types of companies know that people only buy their shit because for some reason there is an image behind them, so that means they can jack up prices which somehow contributes even more to the image, and then you get what you have today. Which is why I'm a firm believer that people who are these types of mac starbuck yuppie drinkers are lame

I think Starbucks etc.. suck cock, which is why I think they're just stupid and overpriced. If other people actually like Starbucks for their actual products, good for them, it's probably cos they don't know any better though

Their drinks are probably more expensive because it's more than just coffee. But regardless, at least in the US, Starbucks employees get a hell of a lot of benefits compared to other jobs that pay similar wages. Last I checked they get medical benefits, 401k benefits, and who knows what else. That money's gotta come from somewhere...

And yes, it's mainly because there aren't a lot of mom and pop coffee shops near where I live.

And I drink Vanilla Breve's because they area a tasty treat.

BTW I'm looking at the Blackberry storm if they can work out my contract. No wifi but other than that .

Get a Bold or the upcoming Curve 8900 (the Curve doesn't have 3G but I'm pretty sure it has wifi)

And near where my dad works, there are two Starbucks within a block of each other. And it's been like that for many years, so they both must get sufficient enough business.
