No big surprise. The Chairman/CEO of Starbucks has been trying to blame his company’s worsening performance on the CEO that he just fired (along with other excuses) but the real problem is he is one of these “balls to the wall” type of CEO’s that has no brakes and thinks that he is smarter than everyone else. I’ve been expecting this to happen for the last year.
I have an Elektra, manual pump, espresso machine that I use every morning. I mix 50/50 espresso/milk, a little honey and chocolate and bingo……a fantastic coffee drink. Starbucks does not even come close to competing with my home brew.
I did stop at McDonalds a couple of weeks ago to try one of their new, coffee drinks and it wasn’t bad; much better and cheaper than Starbucks.
