Ishanshade Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Its like a place to hang out like a bar. Now turning into a study hall where one can order a 100 peso coffee and stay there all day without the conscience of being disturbed or being asked to leave. Its a place to watch cute girls who feel they are in the elite social class since the can spend the weeks baon to stay there and find a DOM or a rich BF to supply her with her coffee needs. Its a place for call center people who are stressed out to shout out loud and irritate the othe people enjoying the cup of coffee in silence. But cannot object since they are making every peso of the coffee worth it. Its a Pick up place for Men who like gays dressed and look more beautiful than the actual women. Its a meeting place for first time horny people who want to have SEB or ONS and seduce the girl by bringing her to drink erotic coffee. But for Whatever it is I like Starbucks. Raspberry Misto. No other coffee shop can match this blend thats why I stay there. Hey its a free country for whatever reason its the marketing that makes Starbucks no. 1 here. Oh BTW its only in the Philippines that Ive observed the people stay until closine Hehehe! Quote Link to comment
ChiliMac Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 i have to agree, there is nothing special about the place. i bought a spillproof mug though kasi kailangan sa work. di pwede yung hindi spillproof. kahit mahal! Quote Link to comment
bootylicious_babe Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I don't frequent Starbucks, I only go there if I'm craving for their Mocha Frapp (usually pag sobrang puyat and I need something to wake me up but feeling ko sasakit ulo ko pag hot coffee ininum ko) Pero on regular days, P5 sa vendo lang katapat ko, masaya na ko sa nescafe with sugar and cream Quote Link to comment

mogambo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 :evil: brand name lang naman pala eh di dalhin mo ang lumang cap ng starbaks at timpla ka na lang ng nescafe Quote Link to comment
David Aames Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hmmm, buying one of those tumbler is an alternative though hehehe, just buy a coffee maker and put it in your office. Perhaps, before you leave home for work, fill that tumbler with home brewed coffee hehehe... but i do love starbucks though, one place you can be alone with yet with the company of so many people of different people. Nice. Quote Link to comment
clubber_lang Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 IMHO... it kinda revived the interest on coffee drinking... The brand name is what makes the killing nowadays... Quote Link to comment
nelson2211 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 What's so special? For me..I think its the "Quality"...its the best quality products and services that they sell that makes them on top of the business. Brand name?...well...you have got to have the best quality to achieve that. Just like any other Brand names that sells worldwide. As for their marketing gimmick...that their shops is the "third place" to be, the third besides your home and your office, in which i think sells very well. So, who thought of that before? No one else but them. Can you patent that "third place to be" idea?...nope, but the only thing they could do is to have the right quality to stand out from the rest. Thats what i think, thats what make them so special. Im just one of the coffee drinker out there who loves their coffee of the day. As for the price...comparatively speaking, for the same short sized 8 oz drip coffee, starbucks sells it @ Ph75.00 and figaro sell it @ Ph69.00; not much difference isnt it? 6pesos? ...just my 2 cents ;-) :cool: Quote Link to comment

Green Lantern Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I don't find anything special about Starbucks except maybe their excellent marketing strategy, but product wise...nada Quote Link to comment
xuaeenr Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 it's a nice place to hangout sana except that the crowds are load here unlike in the states. coffee? I don't find anything special in their regular coffee versus that of dunkin donuts' coffee plus 2 mini sized donuts Quote Link to comment
Sir Galahad® Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 There is nothing special about starbucks... except that it has become most people's 3rd place (if you watched You've Got Mail).... They say your home is the first, the office is the second and third is the coffee shop where you can relax and hang out. In a generation where going out means having to sit and have coffee among friends than going to bars or discos, Starbucks has become one of the major places to hang out. Maybe I have been watching too much F.R.I.E.N.D.S Quote Link to comment
