The same drink at one of my favorite spots would easily cost twice as much, and so would a pastry. Granted, the quality would also easily be twice as good, so I don't think those places are overpriced either. But Starbucks prices seem about right for mediocre product and decent service.
And it's hard to beat the ability to order on the app and pick up or get curbside. The other day I ordered on the app from directly outside the store just so I didn't have to stand around inside with the people in line. It was great. And yes, the customer service is usually pretty good. I think that as mega corps go, they tend to treat their employees ok (it's still a minimum wage job with no growth potential, but otherwise).
You pay $10 for a coffee drink and $6 for a pastry at your local shop? What country do you live in?
