Paola Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I will be honest, I do love Starbucks coffee but this is soooo wasteful The world has gone mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 That's a shocker !! It's actually hard to believe that in this day and age a company could be so wasteful. I'm a Costa girl thankfully. Starbucks will be hoping that all of this will go away quickly............methinks NOT !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've never been in a Starbucks...and never will now. Surely business premises like this are on metred supplies? If not...they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well its not a drought. You could say they are emptying the reservoirs after all this rain so they dont flood our homes! Lets see whats reported in the drier months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about the Gingerbread latte when I was last in and was told that it will be back in November. I must say i will be asking questions the next time I am passing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I adore Starbucks too so I hope they soon change things. If they don't want to be constantly touching taps with their hands because they are so busy (the only real reason I can see for the madness) then get foot pedal operated taps. It's not brain surgery. I'm sure some time and motion consultant will be brought in and paid thousands to work that one out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 and how much resources will it take to make the foot operated taps. I'm only playing devils advocate. I'm really shocked as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 They could just use elbow taps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 OK I believe this now, just seen in on BBC News. Of course they are now thinking about their position or something like that. Along the same lines - if you are in Costa take a good look at all their advertising for their "ethical" rain forest coffee - lots of frogs (actually they gave me a cuddly one for James but I am a VERY good customer). Look at the signs, then look closely and you'll see its only 30% of the coffee that is coming from the ethical farms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa33 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Our restaurant and deli at work are all Starbucks. I refuse to use them and refuse to get a catering card so I can't use them. It does mean though that if I don't have time to do lunch I have to go to the pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It wouldn't strike me as being as awful if Starbucks didn't market themselves as being green.... Unbelievable it's to "Prevent germs festering in the tap"....eh? What a load of nonsense, if my immune system isn't up to drinking boiled water in coffee/tea then frankly I don't think I should take the risk of going out in public at all.

clootie Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Funny how hospitals don't have the same policy about germs in their taps is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Funny how hospitals don't have the same policy about germs in their taps is it not? I was just thinking the same thing! And since when does cold water kill germs anyway? It might wash off surface muck but as I'm always telling Son "germs aren't luminous green"!!
