http://www.starbucks.com/about...o.pdf I'm deb, and I'm a recovering Frappuholic...(Frap Lite! no sugar, no whip, no drizzle. I was semi-good anyway LOL)

Isn't it too hot on Hawaii for coffee?

That's why my addiction was Frappuccino Lite's, LOL. Sometimes add two espresso shot...I've got 12 hour shifts to stay awake for. Oh I had it bad...sometimes 3 or 4 a day...the Venti! 4x$4.71x...doh...my brain hurts just thinking about it. The villanous Starbucks downstairs from my work got a big chunk of my paycheck, but not anymore! The bank must've prepared my statements going: starbucks, starbucks, starbucks,..." When they were building it, I was like hurry up and finish it. Now I wish they never came LOL.

Never been there - never been to ANY coffee shop. I've never even tasted coffee in my life!

(Diet)Mountain Dew is my afternoon engineering fueling recharge. Or sometimes, it's a can of Bawls...Back on topic, only one is closing in AZ and, amazingly enough, I've been ok. It's in Eloy, which (if you've ever been there) there's no reason to believe they needed a Starbucks in little tiny Eloy.

They are closing 4 of them around me, I will have to go 10+ miles for my fix now.

*sigh of relief*the 6 'Bucks near all my stuff (work, home, play) are sticking around this round! I'm lucky enough to have one I can walk to if I'm really feeling the need... but I like to brew at home!

In the rare times I'm in there now, I try to get the premade guarana doubleshot energy ones in the cans since those are recyclable, the cups/lids/straws are not.

Don't they still have the 'buck cup you can get refilled? I know they do it for regular coffee, but I'm sure they'd put other drinks in it!

heh, I like making my own coffee at home. Kona made in my 1 cup machine! Yum!Starbucks always tastes burnt to me. Or old.

My wife is bummed! Not that we went there all the time but we did go. We went last weekend too. My guess is the rent is killing them at the one near us. It is right downtown and on the corner, no drive thru. There are two other SB in either direction of this one. One a few miles away the other is newer and maybe 2-3 miles away with a drive thru.
