Schultz came out of retirement just to shit on unionizing efforts and then pass it along. Just a little union busting, as a treat.

One thing that confounded me when I went to Starbucks for the first time. Asked them for a large black coffee. Since their coffee is way overbrewed so it can be mixed with stuff, it was super strong super hot garbage.
Someone later told me to order it with a little ice to make it drinkable and dilute the flavor.
My question was: why can't I just buy coffee at a coffee place?
Have a stack of 5-10 year old Starbucks gift cards I've collected from various work functions that are still valid. I still haven't gone back. They can't even get me as a free customer.
Why don't you give those cards away to homeless people or food banks? They could use it
Is that the guy that turns his head sideways for more rice and chicken on his burrito
Drink local.
Just make coffee at home before you leave. 10 minutes versus however long the coffee shop trip costs in time and money. Even faster if you get a basic coffeemaker that has a clock that can be set to start up automatically.
Coffee shops are overpriced for the mediocrity.
While I agree, part of it is the experience. Some people want to spend time away from home, and for many families that is a way to buy one drink and get alone time or a place to sit with friends for a while. Sometimes it's also the skill in the drink itself (not Starbucks, though). So in those cases, drink local.
Ok but I don't have any teenagers at home who will make whatever they want instead of what I ordered and take 20 minutes to do it.
I don’t understand the obsession with either of these restaurants
It's strange how the Internet turned on Chipolte. When they were first expanding, everyone raved about how great they were. Then there's a few very public food safety issues, which certainly doesn't put them in a good light. They didn't make any particular changes to their recipes AFAIK due to that. If you thought they were tasty before, then that opinion should be the same now even if you avoid them due to untrustworthy food safety.
I dunno; the Mexican fried rice they use tends to sit heavy in my stomach, so I avoid them, anyway.
Moe's Southwest grill is exactly the same as chipotle but their food is higher quality and they give you free nachos
- Caffeine is addictive,
- sugar gives you the zoomies, and
- frothy milk is delicious.
That's the coffee part handled, anyway. The only improvement would be allow for alcohol, I think, as I'm really sure an irish coffee all day would improve my morning commute -- the bus driver would be so much more relaxed!
Strange that I am in active boycott of two restaurants, and it happens to be both of these places. Not for anything high minded - they both discontinued their chorizo offerings, the only thing I liked on either of their menus. Happened 7 or 8 years ago now, and I won't go back.
Chorizo is serious business.
I can't wait for the al pastor frappechino to be back in season 😻
I’m don’t understand how they can have a level of food that is so trash that even subway is better. McDonald’s is better. The frozen aisle at the supermarket is better. I don’t know how they managed to be so bad.
We can now get e.coli at an anti-union coffee grift establishment?
Sweet!
Starbucks is sugary, trash water. Brew your own coffee at home. Costs way less, tastes much better, and it's significantly healthier compared to the flavored milk they sell.

I don't have the machine at home. Or that other machine. Nor can I make a fern leaf with the milk. And where'm I gonna get a lip piercing at this time of night? Be reasonable, man.
Meanwhile, what they serve at Chipotle is not worth even half of what they charge for it.
Yeah both these companies have been run into the ground in my opinion. They're just coasting on inertia at this point.
But if I brew my own coffee at home, how will people know I'm writing a screenplay?
In my experience, anyone I've ever known who is earnestly writing a book or a screenplay doesn't shut up about it, regardless of whether they go to Starbucks or not.
And if you make cold brew in advance, it's saves a lot of time in the morning. It's even good heated up in the microwave, but I drink it iced year round.
