The last few national tastes tests I’ve seen, Starbucks has rated well down the list. But they keep sucking people in the door.

They're waaaaay overpriced, the products are disgusting, the owner is pompous (wasn't he going to run for President?) and their customer service is downright "porcupine-ish".

HOW do they DO this?

I don't drink that swill anyway: overpriced and underperforming. I make better coffee at home for pennies.
This always cracks me up. Starbucks is for when you’re not at home.

Lol, I’ve found a way to get a quality espresso-like syrup from my Mr. Coffee, but I admit to using Starbucks beans

I go not for the coffee but for the social aspect. One never knows what friends will be encountered

I thought the Starbucks cup you posted about the other day was bad....check out this 2015 cup sleeve.


Starbucks seasonal cups through the years


It actually reads "Hail Satan" over and over.
This comes from CBS News --- a highly respected new broadcast.
I can't stand Starbucks....but Starbucks didn't create that sleeve. Read the cotton-pickin' words next to the picture:
"Weird Al Yankovic put his red cup in a sleeve emblazoned "Hail Satan" and tweeted a photo with the caption: "Okay, Starbucks, NOW you've gone too far."

Weird Al "created" that sleeve photo as a joke. Read this:
Weird Al Yankovic turned my hand into a hilarious Satanic Starbucks red cup meme
