Because it's the companies name. J Sainsbury's stores?I agree but why is Sainsbury's accpetable? Had the same conversation at work the other day, sad I know.

Based on that Tesco's would be correct as it is Thomas Edward Stockwell and Jack Cohen's stores
Asdas could be argued to be correct as it is Associated Dairies, not Associated Dairy
Yes but you may not "get" it. That's the job of the barista or shopkeeper.
Since "get" is defined as "come to have or receive" (as I've mentioned), you're contradicting yourself.
You're taking "get" to mean "fetch", which is an alternative meaning. I've gone into the shop to get ("come to have, or receive") a coffee, so get a coffee is exactly what I'm doing. People might not like it as it's something of an Americanism, but this is only a matter of taste, as the phrase itself is linguistically sound. So you can argue that you personally don't like to hear it, but you can't state that it's wrong.
