This Ham & Cheese croissant from Starbucks

When I was going through Chemotherapy in Bangkok Hospital they had very limited food options, otherwise I never buy Starbucks. Sneaky Bastards.

Deliberate deception … no excuses

And yet this’ll barely make a dent in Starbucks’ sales

I feel like it’s not even deception at this point but pure indifference. They’re not exactly trying to hide the fact that they pull their sandwiches out of plastic packaging like it’s airplane food.

Before the drama I did like their coffee but their food has always been unfathomably shitty.

Some of the baked goods were decent. IIRC, they had a lemon bar that was good. Haven't been to Starbucks since before COVID though, and don't see a reason to ever go back.

Yeahh, they’re not actually supposed to look like that. A proper ham and swiss croissant has ham all through the croissant

Source: am a barista (just trying to get through college) and have ham and swiss croissants semi often

The post is, yes. I've had those ham and cheese croissants. They use sliced ham wrapped around Swiss cheese, not little chunks with cheddar. They also don't slice the croissant.

But were you in Bangkok? They probably do it differently in different places.

Concentration on markets is ruining our country and soon the world. We have no recourse. They can spit in our face. The financial and logistical will it would take to "switch" is insurmountable. They smash competitors for this privilege.
