I haven't heard any news about Seattle's Best going out of business, though they were purchased by Starbucks. Another local coffee brand was recently sold out of bankruptcy--Tully's. The fella from Grey's Anatomy led the investor group that had the winning bid--despite the fact that the competing bid from Starbucks was $1 million more.

Starbucks is teh evil in England now.
They've been "legally avoiding" tax, ie not paying any due to fancy-schmancy accountants.

Went down badly among harried commuters.
The shops took a huge hit in sales. Oops.
Cue "voluntary payment even though we didn't break the law ever, not never."

Har har har sez I. Not allowed coffee anyway.
(Shel, I gave me card to my SIL - they're off to Alaska this year and she likes their cold drinks.)

I was pleased when I was in Canterbury one morning and the Starbucks took my US issued Starbucks card with $10 on it and deducted whatever the cost of two lattes was in the local funny money currency.

I got distracted above. I really came to this thread to report that I got stuck in a Metro elevator this morning. But they eventually got me out.

Chocolatl · 01-18-2013, 07:37 AM

How long were you in there?

I got stuck in my apartment elevator once. I had placed a delivery order with a local pita shop just before getting in, and it was really weird to have to call them back and ask them to please delay my order as I was currently stuck in an elevator and would not be able to accept my pita.

glatt · 01-18-2013, 07:55 AM

There were technicians on site already for some reason. So it was only about 5 minutes. Well, it felt like 5 minutes, so it was probably only 3 minutes.

Sundae · 01-18-2013, 12:49 PM

Glatt, glad to hear they were good to you in Canterbury. Did they tell you any tales? (snigger.)

I've no issue with the staff. The company got a well deserved cunt-punt though.
We might be a bit pinko and liberal compared to other countries, but we vote with our feet. Fuck you if you don't contribute to the NHS.

Then again, Amazon is in the same septic pool. I don't buy from them, but Limey does and I'm not sending back the teas she bought me

glatt · 01-18-2013, 01:13 PM

We vote with our feet too. Chick-Fil-A was boycotted by liberals for some political asshattery they were doing, and then the conservatives felt bad for them so they lined up around the block to show those darn liberals a thing or two.

I'm into my third day of a nasty headache. Took my BP and it's 150/100. I think I've discovered the cause of my headache. I guess it's time to start taking the medication again. It's been really good for the last couple of months, but stress has been high over the last couple of weeks, so I guess that's why it's high. Anyway, hopefully it'll be under control again within a couple of days and this blasted headache will leave me the hell alone.

Sundae · 02-04-2013, 01:22 PM

Sorry to hear that - bad headaches are the worst, but at least you've figured out the reason.

I am having a fruit and veg day today, to cancel out my weeknd "treat" of a McDonalds breakfast. And no, I didn't enjoy it, having not eaten there for too long now.

My belly is boiling and roiling with the sharp change in direction.
I think I am mostly passing cherries at the moment. They come through on express delivery.
At least I'll feel clean and healthy tomorrow and back on track to be a size 18 by the end of the month.
