Does the OT still buy coffee at Starbucks?



Nope. Not since they asked traditionally married people to stop buying their products.

It’s undrinkable. It tastes like burnt toast.

The thing that I will give Starbucks credit for is that they forced other coffee sellers and even gas stations to up their coffee game. I have multiple local coffee shops around me that are outstanding.

The coffee at a Buccees or a flying J is significantly better than Starbucks.

The coffee at McD’s is better than theirs, even when a retard accidentally drops a ton of grounds in the bottom of the cup.

This is a fact. Even gas station coffee is pretty good now, and they all hire the same freaks.

Community Coffee


I'm sure many of us enjoy a cup of Community Coffee, but by coffee standards, it's nothing special. Get coffee done your favorite way with damn good beans and it's life changing.

Starbucks is arguably the original woke company, they have been for years. Their recent struggles have nothing to do with being woke.


The funny thing is the woke people will say the sales are dropping because of them. Starbucks was I think the first and one of the most well-known companies that the pro-Palestine types said to boycott.

At this point they’re supposedly boycotting so many companies I’m sure most of them have lost count. But Starbucks and McDonalds seem to be their prime targets still

Maybe people don’t want to spend 5 dollars on a cup of coffee, when they can buy a bag of coffee for the same price.

Also, they may have diluted their brand by having and selling the raw Starbucks coffee ingredients everywhere.

Again so why go to a fancy coffee shop when I can do the same at home and I don’t have to tip.

Their coffee doesn't cost this much.

A bag of coffee for $5? Shitty coffee.

I find that almost all S-buck workers are not aesthetically pleasing to look at. Their looks favor current college demonstrators IMO.

Cause it’s not a coffee place anymore. They sell more sugar than coffee. Their coffee sucks too.

I’m convinced 20% of the obesity epidemic is directly tied to people drinking milkshakes for breakfast and calling it coffee.

Lineup of similar roast coffees and I would bet 8 out of 10 consumers couldn't tell the difference between the coffees you listed. And, which ones they like / dislike would vary significantly based on personal preference.

It's just fashionable to 'hate on' SBUX coffee.

Seems like a lot of liberals won’t go there because they are union busters.
