I don’t think my opinion of them could go any lower. Tired of their political crap. Shut up and sell your (overpriced) coffee!

We go through a ton of Keurig cups where I work three brands. Oddly, we don’t have Starbucks any more. Just two brands now...

A new Dunkin Donuts just opened near my house. Their coffee is better than Starbucks anyway.

Somebody at work gave me a $15 Starbucks card about 5 years ago. It’s still in my wallet. Unused.

There are two Starbucks within a 2 minute walk of the office.

If you don’t intend to use it, give it to someone entering a Starbucks . . they will use it instead of giving them $$$

Mission Accomplished

I think of them about the same way as I think of Ben & Jerry’s.

McDonald’s drive through. Pay a little more than a buck for a good cup of coffee.
