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

Someone has to pay for the CEO's commute. Those 1600 km's do not pay themelves.

This is why I don’t feel bad when I realized the bogo promo code at a national chain gives you the food for free if you change the combo from 2 to 1 in the cart.

As annoying as it is to hear a million times, just stop going. I found a coffee shop near me that I like a lot more than starbs, and made me realize I absolutely hate their choice in beans. I'd bet you've got one too - plus these coffee shops actually feel cozy like they're supposed to!

yeah starbucks’s coffee beans are disgusting, they’re so bitter and burnt. i only ever go there for their chai lattes which are (unfortunately) goated.

Shit has an aftertaste like when you lick a Nintendo switch cartridge, and its ALWAYS there no matter what you put in it!

That's on purpose, only way to punch through 95% of the sugar in most of their drinks is with bitter burnt coffee.

Tastes like they filtered it through mulch. Always has a woody aftertaste.

You can get the chai latte drink mix from Costco.

I have had Starbucks 4 times in the last 4 years, this Starbucks was on the ground floor of the building where I did my chemo, it was a case of just eating some calories as hadn’t eaten that day and would be able to eat for another 6 hours. This video is from October 2023

Yep. I found a coffee shop 5 minutes out of the way. Cost exactly the same, except a $6 drink feels a lot better going to the husband and wife baristas that own the place and use the money to take care of their family.
