Favorite Starbucks Drink

[ehirsch83]

Oakleaf, I had the same thought!
Here is someone admitting to working for a marketing company for SBux and trying to use us as a test group.

I only drink sbux when I have to(down here in south fl there is only a few local coffee shops.. so it can be hard to get to them).

I make my own at home. I have a Moka pot and brew my espresso on the stovetop.

I add honey and milk and I am set
(can't get out of bed without a cup)

Me too. And I refuse to click on that coupon!

Guys...she obviously works in marketing. She hasn't been here long, but if you check her other posts, you'll see she also worked on a campaign for the Arthritis Foundation and Triaminic. And OMG --- she rides a bike.

She doesn't have SBux spam in a signature, she's not posting a ton of "drink only SBux 'cuz it's the best!!!!!!"

I agree, I thought she was open enough about her relationship with the company. Having worked in marketing in a past life, I recall that it is possible to genuinely like your clients' product. (Makes your job easier, too.)

Whatever.

I get that there's a technical distinction between "spammer" and "viral marketer," but honestly, I have more patience with the former than the latter. As with a couple of other situations, my curiosity won't tolerate putting someone on "ignore" when there's a possibility, however remote, that they might actually be contributing something worthwhile to the conversation.

I just found it funny the amount of negative feedback the post drew, is all. I'm sure she's accomplished her purpose in spite of it.

LOL, I like that. Personally I dislike the taste of their coffee and the price - I've been known to do without rather than to go to one of their stores - though in a pinch for needed caffeine I will.

Someone here said they only drink S'bucks when no other options are available or has a giftcard. I look for local shops first. I like the atmosphere, and almost always like the coffee better.

Nothing against 'bucks and their people, drinks or service I'm just a local gal.
