Post by 5***@gmail.comStarbucks to encourage baristas to discuss race relations with customers? Thanks for warning me. I'll take care to avoid the place.
It's horrible. Now I learn that I'm a former Peetnik. For many years I lived a short distance from Peet's Coffee in Berkeley. I got involved with Peet's Coffee in the Montclair District of Oakland, where my wife always bought her tea, until she started buying green tea from Japan. At the time I began grinding and drinking the beans from Starbucks that were sold at Costco. It was much cheaper.
I have broken free. I have thrown away my breakable French pression coffee maker and my coffee bean grinder of questionable origin. My wife makes me drink Japanese green tea, which will make me live years longer so I can enjoy more years drinking the apparatus-free instant coffee I buy at Costco. It's much cheaper. I usually add the coffee powder to pieces of chocolate before I pour hot milk to the mixture. This turns out to be a safety precaution, because my wife won't steal my cup of chocolate, because she thinks coffee is a deadly poison. I'll be 79 next month. Drink up!
