And their coffee always taste burnt. Zero consistency location to location.

Their medium and dark roasts make me gag now. But their light/blonde roasts are good. If they don't have a light drip avail, I order a blonde espresso Americano.

It’s iced lattes/mochas/white mochas/chai with added flavors and topped with cold foam (basically underwhipped whipped cream), often with non-dairy milks like almond or oat. A grande of these drinks can easily run $6 or more
Or iced teas/tea lemonades/refreshers with added flavors

B.S. I see SUVs in front of me in the drive-thru getting a carload of fraps.

I started drinking it when there were only 3 stores in Seattle in 1977…. Some of the haters should get over their unimpressive selves, lol…. Sbux isn’t magic, nor is the whining. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing.

But did you get picked sis?

The internalized misogyny is so tiresome.

You might as well buy their iced coffee and cold brew they make at the grocery store. Aren’t both concentrated and they do “pumps” of them into a cup and top off with cold water? What a racket.

They like sugar fatty drinks flavored like coffee.

A coffee drinker only needs a straight cup of Jo' that's it. Frappucinos are monstrosities.

The cold brew is so good.

I love the shaken black tea lemonade drink. They are making an enormous profit every time I buy one. It’s like ten cents worth of ingredients.

That’s what I think most of the boba drinks are. Sugary carb loaded junk.

And the frappichinos and the lattes

I think this and the fact that the cold drinks are so much more expensive explains it. I don't like iced coffee drinks and their hot coffee isn't that great. It's fine but I prefer McDonalds coffee for $1 over a $3.50 cup of Starbucks. Or I can just as easily make it at home in a keurig.
