stupid starbucks

[zixxer]

I'm not a ridiculous 'anti-corporate' guy

I lub starbucks. They are overpriced - yes. But it is a great place to meet chicks



Downside -

triple expresso - 1 (sometimes 2) a day - ~$2.20 a piece

x ~20 days a month (only go before/lunch/after work)

~$50 a month just on coffee. That adds up - $600 a year - bleh.


What do you get at starbucks?

 

[loup garou]

Iced coffee/hot coffee depending on whether it is hot/cold out. Nothing fancy.

 

[Ika]

Something exotic, but fairly low-price. I never get plain coffee from starbucks. I do, however, get spiced chai very often. sooo good.

 

[krunchykrome]

I get the blackberry green tea frappie hold the whip


Delicous

Too bad 9 times out of 10 then forget to hold the whip, idiots.

 

[Mrvile]

NAh I only like fraps.

 

[sniperruff]

so you get a regular good cup of coffee, that'd cost you $1.50 anyway.

 

[Rumpltzer]

Venti white chocolate moha with whip cream

$4.35 (no tax) in Los Angeles. It was more like $5.80 in NYC (they charge tax).

I was getting it a few times a week, but now I've cut back to maybe once a week. Expensive and fattening.

 

[ruffilb]

I don't get anything.

 

[D1gger]

We did the same math some time ago, and now I only go about once a week, the rest of the time we make lattes or espresso at home with good quality beans.

 

[SirChadwick]

chai tea frapp yummy!

 

[MrChad]

If you truly thought they were overpriced, you wouldn't purchase from them.

 

[amddude]

java chip frapp

 

[Linflas]

Nothing, I avoid Starbucks.

 

[QED]

Iced venti white mocha.

Edit: And is it just me, or has their quality and consistency gone way down now that most stores use superauto's instead of their Cimball grinders and Le Marzoca machines?

 

[pontifex]

never been in a starbucks.

might have something to do with me not liking coffee though.

 

[EKKC]

caramel macchiato
toffee nut latte
when too hot: any flavor frapp
and when no need for caffeine, caramel apple cider

 

[JulesMaximus]

I bought some water there last Saturday at one of the rest breaks on a 50+ mile bike ride. That's the first time I've been in a Starbucks in probably a year or so.

 

[ballmode]

I get Iced Green Tea hold the sweeteners

So people who don't go are "anti corporate"?

Maybe people just think they suck. I don't avoid McDonalds because I'm anti-corporate, I avoid it because they sell crap. Ditto Starbucks.

 

[zixxer]

um just to point out.... I don't go for the coffee... although even if I was, a good expresso machine is $$

That sounds good. I should get some.

I usually get white chocolate mocha or caramel frappucino.

 

[BD2003]

I get stupid coffee.
