Starbucks sucks....

[Holding These Alligators Down]

Important topics now....
I had a hospital appointment yesterday at 8:30am and there's a Starbucks there so i went in for the first time in my life. It seems to be impossible to just order a simple regular coffee, why the hell does everything come with whip cream, sprinkles or other crap?
I paid way more than i would normally pay for a coffee and it wasn't even that nice.
Why do people like Starbucks so much? It ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.

I've never been asked for whipped cream/sprinkles/etc. when ordering a regular coffee from Starbucks.




That being said, their coffee does suck. I just get pounds of coffee from local coffee shops. Sometimes these guys:

I can't stand starbucks
Not just because I dislike coffee, but because everyone in there looks like a hipster

Their coffee is weaker than it should be. Go somewhere else for good $4 coffee

I get it free anyways. There are no other decent coffee places nearby. Only McDonalds. I'm not going there.

Bought a mocha there for 5(!) dollars, I couldn't even taste the coffee.

"Quad" = 4 shots.

Huh. I walk in, ask for a medium coffee black, $2 and 4 minutes later, I have a coffee. They do not require you to use their language to order, and they are a coffee shop. I am going to say this is customer error, due to ignorance or social anxiety. As for their coffee, it is mid-range. Passable, not great.

Also, hipsters work in local small business coffee shops. record shops that sell vinyl, or Whole Foods.

Their coffe is horrifying. So burnt.

You can just say, "I want a cup of coffee" and they'll give you a cup of coffee (.... yes you have to pay for it), no bells or whistles.

Honestly most donut shops and 7/11s have better coffee.

I just don't count them as coffeeshops anymore, I think of them as hot chocolate shops.

This^^ and for people who like to watch others act like they are on their tablets doing something important.

[Quint the Alligator Snapper]

I just don't drink coffee.

Solves many problems.

This seems to be basically the same problem you'd get if you went to a fancy sit-down restaurant and tried to order take-out. It's simply a mismatch between service offered and customer need.

Starbucks caters to people that want to sit around, and use the coffee an an excuse to get stuff done, like doing office stuff, writing papers, reading, and so on.

If you're just looking for a simple plain cup of coffee with no bells and whistles, probably a better idea to go to a McDonald's and ask for a cup of coffee.

Now if you know your way around their menu, you probably know how to order a quick cup of plain-and-simple coffee from them. I don't, so I wouldn't go there for that purpose.

Sorry about your experience, I guess. Though I don't work at Starbucks nor do I even buy much from them because I don't drink coffee. (They do offer food, though usually I'd rather go to a Subway, Pollo Tropical, or Chipotle instead.)

I love Tim Hortons

I do go to Wawa's.
