my biggest concern over SBUX is their stock, it's been tanking all year! Where's the bottom? The can't really credit McDonald's for this like they are trying to. Did they just get too big too fast? All their numbers look good, have they just ran out of steam?
Maybe SBUX should be buying their spots instead of renting... I don't know. The CEO needs to do something to help that place if they want to stay a float.
I hope they sink, but I'll still buy some stock... just in case

BTW Aggie, I remember now - you're from NZ. Your customer service etc is no better or worse than the UK's. Trains? Don't make me laugh!!!Banks? NZ's were much better back then yes, but if you will be stupid enough to pick ****ty Midland... Now I think things have reversed in the banking dept.
Dunno, why you got it so bad over here - maybe everyone saw an annoying commie and acted accordingly...

So Moby, do you think SB beans are overroasted or not? Do you prefer SB, some other chain, or a local coffee shop?
We have a local coffee shop that got started here, in the middle of Koreatown, where they roast on premises, the coffee was pretty good (I think i got regular coffee when I was there, not an espresso based drink)

MOBIUS, stop trying to be like Asher. Knock it off with the Jewish baiting with LOTM.
Mobys not doing it very well. The game is to take a thread where im posting about, say, my preferences in espresso based drinks, assert that I only talk about Jewish stuff, and to attempt to do so in a way that hits my hot buttons so I respond. When I do so its "ha ha LOTM is posting about his obsessions" The trick is to hit the hot buttons, without posting something so outre that even the apologist squad has to admit that its bannable. Walking that line involves both IQ, and obsessive analysis of what will work, and a bullys instinct for the jugular. Moby's posts dont quite capture that."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

The only New Zealand government departments which are as bad as the UK are the Social Welfare department (or whatever they are calling it these days) and the tax scum.

It is literally about the same - there are good examples and bad examples in the NZ just as in the UK.
New Zealand has a total of about three passenger trains. We don't do rail travel much, as it is not economical.
I have no idea what it is like now. Dealing with the government was bad enough. I'll give the Canadians some credit. All my dealings with the government of Canada have been quick and painless.

I have no idea. I also have no idea why most of the papers there are appallingly racist.
The NZ Herald is lightweight compared to at least a half dozen papers here and the local papers are awash with 'cat stuck up a tree in the wop wops'
Something really bad must have happened to you in the UK for this sort of irrational hatred directed at my country...
I however happen to like NZ, but it certainly ain't perfect.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if it had only happened once, but this happened multiple times a day (perhaps this is a Newcastle thing).
