Starbucks isn't worth it any more (and the company is getting [already?] evil)

Now some here are gonna say, “Starbucks coffee always sucked, so good riddance.”

Damn. You predicted my post exactly.!!

My friend used to get Starbux before a road trip, so I tried one of their mochalattas or something. Gawd it was sweet. But kinda refreshing and woke me up. Then I checked the nutritional facts. If I had dissolved 10 teaspoons of sugar and two teaspoons of butter, that would be about the same.

I later tried a simple Mocha. Weak sauce, especially compared to Petes. I think Starbuxs is for people who don’t really like coffee.

I think any “latte liberal” association they may have once had has long been shed. It’s more a general middle class thing now – in fact, in my circle, the Starbucks drinkers skew conservative, some aggressively so (cousins.) The more “liberal” types around here tend to be into local joints,…

Yep.

One thing that pissed off my wife is that Disneyland used to have a coffee place- with hot, very decent coffee at a reasonable price… and free refills. Replaced by a $#@! Starbux.
