I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I limit my time inside DD by ordering on my phone through the app, that could help

It's called a reverse grimace shake because if you shake it up the colors mix to purple and upsidedown it's kind of a grimace shape

I love that Starbucks tried going hard expanding here (Australia) but the massive amounts of sugary drinks and the fact that their basic coffee was more expensive kind of hosed them up here and they lost a poo poo tonne of money lol

I would like a basic latte, do I get the more expensive Starbucks or just go to one of the other three cafes in walking distance and pay less? What a difficult choice!

The only one I see get any business is the one placed near the main area tourists go through, which makes sense.

I ordered several Hot Chocolate from them and gave up when the 3rd one from a different place each time sucked.


How do you make Hot Chocolate bad? That takes some talent there.

The key to Starbucks that so many are missing is they often have a drive thru. If it comes between sitting in my car or finding parking and then going in line I’m gonna sit in my car like God says I should.

I worked at Starbucks very briefly back in 2006, and they told us that if a customer ordered a beverage using a normal size (small coffee, medium latte, etc.), we were to repeat it back to them using Starbucks sizes ("tall coffee/grande latte, coming right up! :v: "). I refused to, because it was just weird.

I noticed this and thought it was coffee snobbery over some italian sizing poo poo that I'd never heard of and was slightly turned off to the brand.

It somehow worked in Seattle. Seattle had a ton of really great coffee shops, often times there would be a line out the door of the starbucks it would have loud weird music playing and be hard to get a place to sit, it had that high traffic fast-food place level of weird finger grime all over everything, it was more expensive and arguably lower quality. The little coffee shop next door you could just walk in and get a coffee, if you ordered a latte you'd get it before people in starbucks even got to put in an order. There were a few starbucks there where you could see multiple other starbucks from their front door.

Once all the other coffee places closed up they closed up a bunch of starbucks and now you just couldn't get coffee for a few blocks, Seattle was absolutely saturated with interesting places to get a cup of coffee before. It's crazy that there are other coffee chains that are HQ'd in Seattle like Tullys and Seattle's Best and neither of them have a presence in the city now.

So from Starbuck's PoV it makes perfect sense that they could just come in and take over good on you guys for not falling for it or else you might actually have less places to get coffee than you do now.
