    But that's just the point isn't it.....it's not genuine

    It's a bit like applauding the Bankers for screwing up the World!!.

    whatever you think about it - a great bit of PR by Starbucks - I bet Costa and Cafe Nero (and the others!) are feeling a bit put out!

    but with a pub its probably at least genuine/near genuine whereas as this just feels a tad superficial

    Personally I like the personal approach, it works well in a pub that I frequent and causes no harm.....why not in a coffee shop?

    Plus it's a genius piece of Marketing.....

    True but if 3 people are waiting for tall skinny latte to go, then it makes it easier to see who is due to get which one.

    Although every coffee/tea shop I've gone to including chains when busy often write what you ordered on the side of the cup, so knowing which one hasn't been a problem, same in the states when I was over there last.

    Also, if you buy a nuraber of coffees for people. It's a good way of giving them to the right person.
