That is amazing, a person through the years trying to visit every Starbucks Starbucks store in the world. How far did he get? How many store did he visit? Which store is his favorite?

I’m really bummed now I missed this. I had to be in the Judge’s Certification and Calibration for the competition that weekend.

I would have loved to be apart of this conversation.

P.S. You update your blog way more than I do. I need to get on that.

Yes Melody there may well be too many stars for the sky but Howard did say “Melody you’re famous”. Don’t be modest.

Hi Steve, NikitaVia & Dave – It was genuinely a kick getting to meet Winter. He’s pretty intensely knowledgeable about the company, yet in a different kind of knowledge base. Dave, I guess I really should go renew my passport! LOL. Anyway, you guys are just too full of flattery with any “goodwill ambassador” award. With millions and millions of customers every week going through the doors of Starbucks, I only see myself as one of many characters cycling in and out. There are too many stars and not enough sky.

Hi Melody it’s me Steve…Like NikitaVia said Howard should indeed give you a job as Goodwill Ambassador for Starbucks. After all he did say “Melody you’re famous” at the annual meeting.

I had Winter in my Store a few months ago – he was an amazing character, I’m opening a new store in November – you should both come over for the opening!

Hi Melody,

I really enjoyed your interview with Winter. I thought the questions you asked were very interesting AND I got a new drink to try – the shaken double espresso with cream and sugar.

I think Howard should offer you a job as a goodwill ambassador for Starbucks. You make the company come off as very personable, informed, and intelligent.

What a sight that must have been! Two legendary customers chatting at the legendary 15th Ave. What did Winter say about these new concept stores?
