Actually No

[exhilaration]

Today I was told by a customer that Starbucks actually owns the coffee shop I work in and that it just doesn't have the Starbucks name on it because the city won't allow a Starbucks because it wants to preserve it's image or something.

This is the same person who ordered in Starbucks-ian instead of, you know, off OUR menu, and I was like, "haha, that's Starbucks, we have x, y, and z here, which would you prefer?"

So, for the record, actually no, Starbucks does not secretly own my workplace. I know this because I WORK THERE.

Why does everyone think Starbucks is so godly and owns the world now?
I just think its overpriced coffee.

That would've be rather funny/awkward. ;D

Starbucks owns my soul. Sadly.

But there's no Starbucks in Hungary so I only go there when I'm abroad.
