My husband and I walked into a Starbucks in Portland, OR when I was about eight months pregnant. I explained I had to use the bathroom, was about to wet my maternity pants, and the guy behind the counter said lazily "sure, if you order something." It's gone from turning down a pregnant lady about to have an accident to letting the lowest of low use the facilities, no questions asked. Huh.

Eric van Sciver is absolutely convinced that sometime in the near future, Kathleen Kennedy will announce that she is retiring to spend more time with (whatever).

It's even more sinister than you can imagine. Starbucks smallest size is called a tall. Their medium size is called a Grande which means large in both Italian and Spanish. And their large is Venti which means 20 in Italian. Which is all kinds of fucked up. Not only is their coffee overly expensive, it's batshit crazy.

I hate Starbucks with the heat of a billion suns. Also, their staff love to brag on different media platforms about putting dirt, grime, and different body fluids in customer's drinks including kids.
They also brag about constantly over charging because customers don't ask for receipts or look at them and they pocket the difference. Why anybody goes to that hellhole is beyond me. Posted by: Pickles at June 05, 2018 01:55 PM (z4k8L) 72

I could have been an early franchisee. I went to Portland in the early 90s, and had the Starbucks experience, so when I came home, I told Mrs928 about it and that since our little arty-farty town had no coffee shops, we should get a franchise that she could run while I slaved in the salt mines.
She declined. Indeed, she did that wifey thing where they claim you are trying to boss them around. Unfortunate. Now there are 4 coffee shops in town doing a good business. Posted by: Grump928(C) at June 05, 2018 01:57 PM (QQ+il) 84

I thought "venti" meant something like big or large in Italian but it doesn't. It means twenty because it is the 20 ounce size. There's just one problem. Italians don't use ounces, they use metric measures. So the whole venti thing is faux Italian elitist bullshit.

Better question on what he does now.
Why should I care? He will not run in the NC election so, I cannot vote for him. If he turns to philanthropy I cannot tell him how to spend his money. Only ifhe want to run in the Presidential Election will I get a voice in the matter, and personally the way things are going for Trump so far, it will be suicide for anyone to run. If I am the DNC in 2020, I wheel Hillary out. Move as much money out of the DNC and put it somewhere safe and let her go Posted by: Picric at June 05, 2018 02:00 PM (hBktJ) 107

As such, he must be protected. The company must be protected, because it is also considered part of the team. So... let this guy walk away, take some less high profile position somewhere, probably with some lefty non-profit, then he can rebrand himself for politics, and the company can rebrand itself as not rayciss. Win win win for the left. So yeah, the media is going to spin this whatever way they can, for maximum benefit for all. Truth and justice be damned.

The left is having Oprahgasms over Schultz saying he's gonna run for president but I just don't see it -- or if he runs, he gets Biden numbers. I do expect 82 lefties to line up to run in 2020, thinking this is their golden opportunity because everyone they know hates Trump and how can we lose? So maybe Schultz will be in there with all the rest of the goofballs but its going to be a festival of freaks and losers against a steamroller.

If you're a CEO and suddenly want to run for president, you need Trump to be successful and re-elected.
Otherwise that angle is shot for at least a generation. Posted by: TheJamesMadison She's wrong for more than one reason. First, Trump wasn't elected because he was a CEO. He was elected because everyone knew his name, aka Q score. He won because he had cultural cache from being a celebrity, not from being a businessman - that's coincidental. ( think how many 1000's of successful biz people are out there with zero fame ) We're in the age of celebrity and it's time the GOP work with this reality. Obama was made a celebrity in a years time before he was elected by an overly-enthusiastic MSM in non-stop 24/7 propaganda mode. The GOP will never be able to replicate that because of the MSM's leftist nature. Another CEO could run and win again as long as that person is a household name.

I had never been to a Starbucks until recently. There was one near the hospital my Dad was in. So I went there for a cup of coffee. Nothing special about it and not as high priced for plain black coffee as I had heard it was. But the gas station near me makes better coffee so I will likely not be going out of my way for Starbucks regardless of their politics.

The young female servers at my local Starbucks are all pleasant and attractive, for reals.
And I don't see a lot of douchebags. Mind you I don't think there are a lot of homeless people in the area. Same here, including the pretty girls. I really don't get the hate directed towards Starbucks. Of course, I'm mostly getting my coffee at the kiosk located in a grocery store, not a Starbucks store per se, so maybe that is the difference. I live in a town overrun with leftists and hippies. Starbucks is far from the worst thing here. Posted by: Grey Fox at June 05, 2018 02:13 PM (bZ7mE) 196

It will no longer be a pageant...but a competition. The mission statement changed too, but I didn't memorize it. I thought for sure Ace would have already posted, but I didn't see it. I have not watched the show in decades, but it will be interesting to see how this evolves. It'll be a viewer draw in the beginning to see the changes...after that...not so sure.

352-What a terrible thing to do!, Just ghastly. People are racked enough with guilt after a suicide even without some nutball telling a teen daughter it's her fault.

I didn't know why y'all were talking about Kate Spade 'til I saw that she's a suicide.
That is ineffably tragic. I've only known well two people who took their own lives and they were both smart and beautiful and seemed to have it all. To bring things back to Horde level, Chelsea Clinton tweeted about it: Chelsea Clinton @ChelseaClinton My grandmother gave me my first Kate Spade bag when I was in college. I still have it. Holding Kate's family, friends and loved ones in my heart. Yes, a beautiful successful woman took her own life and you relate this to a purse someone gave you.

"Our law enforcement sources confirm the note Kate left behind was addressed to her daughter ... telling the 13-year-old the suicide wasn't her fault."
At least she did this. Too many parents commit suicide and kids are left wondering what they did it; why they were abandoned. Depression is a disease. The end stage is death. This is so sad. Posted by: professor disarray, gumdrop gorilla channel at June 05, 2018 02:47 PM (k2yk7) 385

Kate Spade made a fortune doing what she liked to do. Her company got sold to Coach last year for billions. I thought she must have been one of the happiest people in the world

I'm always surprised when people commit suicide by hanging. It is a horrible way to die. There is no turning back either. But they said it was a scarf on her bedroom door knob. That is...I mean...I need to understand this much more.

A kidr even many adults- will not believe that it wasn't in some way their fault, or that they should have been able to have done something, although if you have to take your life because of depression I suppose it's better to leave that kind of note. I have shared this before. I was nine when my dad disappeared-never found his body, no note. Don't know if got lost in the woods of Canada or just killed himself there. It took me years and counseling to stop thinking "If I had gone fishing with him this wouldn't have happened."
And yes, I'm o.k. and have been for years. last time there was talk of depression on here I left an article-a woman posted a picture of her daughter before her husband killed himself and a post about what suicide does to survivors. If anyone is that depressed here cal a suicide helpline now. people in your life need you. It doesn't matter if you think they don't. https://tinyurl.com/ydhkj88e Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 05, 2018 02:57 PM (vw6r3) 389

I had to look to see if this was sudden with Kate Spade, or she had long standing depression.
"She was 55 years old and suffering from clinical depression, for which she was taking medication. "Kate Valentine, formerly known as Kate Spade, was an American fashion designer and businesswoman. She was known to suffer from depression." Clinical depression is a Beast. It is different than garden variety or situational depression. Keep that in mind before you judge her too harshly.
