A friend of mine used to get coffee and a slice of “low fat” coffee cake. Turned out the coffee cake wasn't so low fat and it had enough sugar to wire her for weeks.
Vastly overpriced and overrated. Starbucks is a status symbol. Kinda like designer jeans. Why pay hundreds of dollars for some fru-fru designer's logo on your butt when you could get a pair of no mane jeans at Walmart for $15-$20?
Yes...”status” symbol....especially to the Government TAKERS with their manicured nails, IPads, and expensive cars. It’s getting to be like WINE....heck, we won’t pay much more than $7 for a bottle of red wine.....a cup of coffee???? OMG...
