Starbucks banned porn on its wifi, so youporn banned starbucks in its offices

[ronin001]

After a petition calling for Starbucks to ban porn got 26,000 signatures, Starbucks acquiesced.

How porn addicted is someone who can't wait out their Starbucks order without a pornography fix?

Ditto.

Sometimes we go to Starbucks for short business meetings, too, just to get out of the office. It’s not exactly private, so business can’t be something confidential - just touch base stuff. Wtf would someone need access to porn? Everyone would notice.

put in some ear buds and stay in the corner, fewer people will notice, shrink the window and have it in the corner of the screen and you can keep working on your essay. (though yeah, time and place, it's better if it's kept at home/friends places)

Yeah but the question is *why*

Youporn? Never heard of them. I bet Starbucks is cut.

The response reminds me of that butthurt campaign the xhamster twitter account ran against the No Nut November fad. Porn studios love to play the victim.

I'm sure Starbucks is crushed.

My IT guys has told me over and over again to be careful of free wifi, and I try to listen. I'm not a Starbucks regular anyway. I used to be horribly addicted to the tune of like $8 a day. Until hubby bought the super duper espresso maker that does everything for you with the push of a button. Now he's a real coffee snob. I push the button, but he's the manual freak who has to do things just right.

I just want my cafe latte. I don't need the performance art.

But now when I got to Starbucks it tastes burnt and inferior to Cap's Amazing Coffee Contraption.

The "performance art" isn't necessary, but taking the time to make a Good latte, totally noticable difference in quality.

Fuck Starbucks.

Most of their locations have the machine that grinds, brews, steams and all that for the "barista". It's basically the McDonald's of coffee. I have No Idea why people are so fucking obsessed with Starbucks. It's shit coffee.

People will notice. Trust me. They fucking notice. That guy in the corner, obviously wedged in there where no one can see his screen, but he's WAAAY to interested in?

Everyone knows what's going on, dude. Everyone.

OK, MacDonald's hamburger tastes the same in Fort Myers or San Diego or Bismark. But Starbucks can be different across town! There's no consistency there. We have five or six coffee houses in my city, and all of them are pretty damn good!

Oh, and Cap's machine does all that grinding, tamping and even cleaning itself out. That's how I do it. Not the way he does it! And I'll admit that his tastes better than mine.

Oh, there's no consistency with fast food here. You go to McDonald's here in town, it's gonna be a shit-show. Go to the one on Central in ABQ, you'll get a decent tasting burger. It's uncool.

And having an automatic machine at home is understandable. Calling Starbucks employees "baristas" when the machine is doing everything for them, bullshit.

I think Starbucks coffee is terrible. Always have. I have an aunt, uncle, and cousin who love Starbucks. But they also are obsessive Apple product users and other stuff like that. They're family, but man, they are superficial about some stuff...

I have had a professional interaction with the Starbucks Corporation, over the past 2 years. If it would not possibly get me fired, Ahh the stories I would tell.

I still buy my coffee and danish, from the old guy who sells from a mobile cart, on the corner. Lets just say I got a lot of eyebrows raised at me, for coming to meetings with generic coffee, especially since SB would comps my purchases

Starfucks failed in this country for good reason.

Aussies are spoiled for good coffee and we have been because of the amount of Italian immigrants
who brought their superior coffee and cafe culture with them when they came here.
Starfucks just couldn't get a toehold with a population who's palettes were already educated and
sophisticated.

McDonalds here have gotten rid of their percolated coffee machines and gone for proper
espresso machines.

Every private residence I know of has a Delonghi espresso maker.
They buy roasted beans and grind their own and they pour justified scorn on
coffee pods.

I have, on numerous occasions, taken a peek at lpsg for updates while in line at the supermarket. I guess I'm that guy, sure enough. Lol

At least you are honest

Starbucks coffee to me tastes very metallic, bitter. I just don't get all the hype, but I know some folks who are mad addicted to the stuff.

Have a friend who owned a small bistro at the beach. He and his husband served Seattle's Best coffee. That's much better coffee. Hard to believe they are a subsidiary of Starbucks.

Give me a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee any day. That's good coffee.

The McDonalds coffee in Canada is far better than the U.S. McDonalds. (I was told, and too lazy to google if it’s true, that they bought the old Timmie’s recipe.) If I’m buying, I prefer my Tim Horton’s rather than anything else.

I grind my own beans at home. At work, we drink swill. I know it’s swill because I drink coffee black and it tastes like coffee flavoured water. I like coffee like my heart - strong and black.
