[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends.  Me stopping to get black coffee
isnt some kind of treat.  I’m trying to make it through the day.  So no, if I’m getting regular coffee it isn’t a free for all for my kids to order frappichinos, cake pops, or whatever other junk Starbucks has.  They can get a tea or something else that isn’t utter sugar filled garbage [/quote]

I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t have that excuse, but I could see taking my young kids and getting a black coffee and giving my kids a choice of milk or water.  Or splitting a treat and two waters.  But I can’t see not getting them anything.[/quote]

But don't they already have water bottles? I don't see the point of buying them something just so they can consume some extra plastic. I'm not going to go to the ice cream shop and only get something for myself, but I think it's fine for the coffee shop to be primarily for adults. I may be biased because I worked at starbucks back in the day and had to wait as parents tried to make their bored and over-treated kids choose between a croissant and a brownie.[/quote]

Don't you already have an insulated cup that can hold coffee?  If you want something that tastes different than your water, perhaps they do too.  The fact that I let my kids have the free water at Starbucks does not make them over-treated.[/quote]
