Javalujah!

That line was pretty funny.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Cute.

I saw this about a year ago, at a visit to an AOG church on their big screen. I appreciated seeing it again! My favorite part is when the guy says in his interview, that "they get a lot of visitors that come thru....not many stay, but we know a bean has been planted...., some people just cant take the real stuff".

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Interesting, notice they did not comment on the letters on his apron. I think sometimes we use language that visitors don't understand.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

I found it interesting that the good parking spots were reserved for the Baristas.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Yes I saw that also. But I understand that for churches. :)

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

How come?

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Because they are usually there early and leave late.

Our church has plenty of good reserved spaces for guest. In fact, we have too much space for guest and most of the members end up parking there as well. Otherwise it would look like no one is showing up for church.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Yeah, and those baristas are definitely not getting there early. lol

I don't understand it for churches at all.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Most guest don't go in the side door. That is where most churches reservced parking is that I have seen.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Most that I've seen are right by the front door.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Our church has reserved parking for guests (and handicapped spaces) right by the front door.

I guess I missed something--it looked like the reserved parking in the video was spoofing reserved spots for "Pastor", "Pastor's wife", "Youth leader", etc.--NOT preferential guest parking.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

That is the way I took it as well... In the video the guests had to park way off because of the preferential parking for the Baristas.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Yeah, I saw what you saw. It's spoofing the reserved parking for "important people" making guests park somewhere else.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

That was my take as well.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Ah..and I'm taking a bit of real world into this! Employees park far, far away from the door so the customers can have close parking. So..the idea that people deserve to park close cuz they're there early and leave late...doesn't work for me.

Re: If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church
 

Yes'm... Me too. That's my feelings on it.

If you get there early... the good parking spots are a given.
