Default Starbucks.

Starbucks has decided to layoff a bunch of employees and close some of its stores. They have had a hard time for some time now as business has dropped.

I am saddened to hear this as I love their coffee. We don't have a local Starbucks. The last time I had their coffee I bought a bag at the store and brewed it myself.

Their coffee is very good but it is also very expensive. I could buy a three pound can for what I pay for a pound of their coffee. I could buy 4 cups of coffee for what I pay for a cup in their stores.

With this being the case is it any wonder they are going under.

I have heard many people say how great their coffee is, but the cost of their coffee is just to much.

People are starting to realize that even though starbucks coffee is good and all, that it is much smarter to brew your own at home.

I feel bad for all those employees who will soon be like so many in the hunt for work. This is not the time to be without income.

We have a starbucks down the street from me. I live within 2 miles of a college and it is always packed. You can't even pull in the driveway sometimes.

I really do hope that they don't mess with that Starbucks. A lot of college students would be very upset over that. They love to gather there with the laptops and work. Very sad day if they lay people off there.
