Say that headline fast five times bitches!
Starbucks gets away with a lot of shit being the boutique drug dealer of the overworked and underpaid white collar labor machine, but at some point someone has got to ask who is watching the watcher (yes to LaBELLE ‘Chameleon’ – copp that shit if you can find it).
It’s not enough that I bought the Strawberry frappucino drink the other day and I had to just stop in my tracks and look at the cup like, “Dayummmm! I should’a had a V8.” Lord knows how high my bloodsugar jumped behind that beverage. Diabetes has got to be some crazy kind of hellish circle in Dante’s Inferno because the journey towards it tastes so damn good.
I’m not even getting at your eyeballs this morning to talk about these insulin inspirations called coffee drinks. Starbucks is sinister enough to charge you five bucks and change for the large drinks, but the real illuminati nonsense comes to play in the company they have selected to distribute wireless internets service inside of their bistros. American Telegraph and Telephone, the same multi-national corporation that holds the licenses for legit iPhones will be pumping up the volume when you download your iTunes playlist inside Starbucks stores.
While corporations laud these developments as synergistic movements I shudder at the idea that my spending habits are transmitted via the world wide web everytime I want a hit of that sugar[ll]. AT & T is the same company facing a class action lawsuit for their participation in the illegal wiretapping program of the G DUBBZ administration? So while Apple Computers, Starbucks and AT & T perform an unholy menage a trois over my dollars I wonder how much more of my information is being transmitted. Especially now that Congress has granted telecoms all types of immunity for sharing people’s personal information.
Aww what me worry? I ain’t got no money anyhoo. Just five dollars in my checking account and a hankering for a caramel macchiato.
Love Chameleon. Nona Hendryx = GREAT songwriter.
Green Tea Latte w/Raspberry and tell them to keep the melon in there. I find comfort in my craving for Starbucks in knowing enough people that work there to get things free. It’s like going to hell, but kicking the devil a few times on the way.
A Nonfat Extra Hot Caramel Macchiatto is my crack. And yes, I know non-fat and caramel is an oxymoron.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the information being spread…..they already know all of our business and have for years.
Cosign Amadeo. I knew a manager at one of the stores and literally never paid for a drink for a year. Every day. Those days are sadly over though. I’m too damn old to keep up with all the high school kids that work the joints anymore. My ubiquity throughout the streets seems to be fading. Fast. Oh well.
But that Strawberries & Creme frappuccino joint…Sweetest thing on the damn menu. I can’t drink them. And I like strawberry. Yikes.
Caramel Frap’s are running that frozen shit. Or a Mocha frap with raspberry.

upside down venti chai with extra nutmeg- that’s a smoother operator than sade running AT&T.
I’ve actually heard on the news that Starbucks is actually closing some stores down because of overexposure. With their branded coffee in and out of stores, albums in stores, that wireless setup they have (fuck it), and the exclusiveness from the beginning like a dream deferred now, it was bound to happen.
New post, btw…
Man I’m surprised you haven’t disappeared yet…the wrong folk catch on to your rhetoric. Keeping dropping gems sun.
