No lines at Starbucks

[Anonymous]

Anyone else noticing this? Is there a boycott I’m not aware of or have people just stopped going?

I travel all around for work and the entire metro’s Starbucks seem pretty dead.

Yes, awful coffee and the stores are always dirty. I support my local coffee shops.

People are feeling poor with so many firings and prices going up under Trump.

I think everyone's depressed and looking for ways to save money. We're all anticipating leaner times, OP, even people like me who are not directly affected by fed layoffs.

+1. Economic uncertainty is high right now. People are cutting back on spending.

Yes. Many people are adding up the significant amounts that they spend at Starbucks— and on other discretionary purchases — and are deciding to rein it in. Next week’s paycheck is not guaranteed.

This. No more discretionary spending and it’s going to kill the economy.

Millennials saving up to buy houses in the summer

Well they are gross. I never patronise Starbucks.

We are trying to save money anywhere we can. That includes daily 3 dollar coffees. I know that it will hurt the workers at Starbucks BUT my family is hurting financially too.

People are coming to their senses and realizing that the $4-$5 cup of Starbucks every day adds up.

Their prices are out of control.

And generally folks, especially the young ones, are shopping locally to the extent possible these days.

People order with app.

Except there will not be anything to buy. Nobody is giving up their 2% mortgage. Hence cutting out Starbucks, etc.
