No lines at Starbucks

[Anonymous]

The new CEO’s genius ideas include…

Firing thousands of employees and deleting half the menu. For that he’s paid a zillion dollars and gets to commute to work on a private jet from his SoCal oceanfront mansion.

Starbucks is McDonald’s at this point. Nothing premium about it at all. The baristas aren’t even clean cut and nice anymore. They’re weird and miserable.

We’re ordering on the app and just walking in and picking up our order. No need to wait.

lol. One $6 latte at a time… only need to do that about 10,000 times and the kiddos will have a down payment on a Beltway starter home!

It adds up. It’s not just starbucks. It’s $40 a week of Starbucks and $30 for Sunday brunch and $70 for a night out with friends and $40 for every streaming service you want and don’t actually need and….it all adds up. Cutting back on Starbucks is a step towards cutting back and it makes sense. Just make coffee at home. Insanely cheaper.

I also think with more people RTO, suburban Starbucks are empty during the day.

With my daughter and her friend’s, Starbucks has been out for a couple years and bubble tea/boba is in.

Starbucks, you had a good run, but corporate greed and consumer trends got the best of you. Funny thing, while I never go to Starbucks, I actually like their drip coffee…burnt notes and all.

This. Their. new strategy is to encourage patrons not to come in store - fewer tables/seating and app perks and freebies. You can even order online and use the drive thru to pick up.

I used to go every day. But for the last 2-3 years, they have really gone down in quality and the stores are a disaster.

They still struggle with people camping out in the stores, occupying tables for hours while they "WFH". Until they enforce some turnover, people who might like to stop in and stay while they finish an order oftentimes have nowhere to sit.
