"Also hilarious is the hip coffee shops opening on weekdays at 9am. Cmon now, Starbucks workers have already done a full shift, and now everyone else is at work."
"the drive-thru window is raised up really high, and the cute baristas completely tower over me in my tiny Mazda. I pull up, and I'm forced to look upwards– inferiorly–into their pretty, over-caffeinated eyes. And what do they give me? A look of expectation, a look of want."
"Also the blackout targets are some crazy low hanging fruit. No instant slop for a day? No starbies? No same day amazon deliveried by a wage slave?"
"Here in C terminal, and the unending, 90 person lines outside the chilfilas, starbucks never ease up. All the restaurants have like twelve workers behind the counter in a space as big as a suburban closet."
"Also came with a free "I can't believe this job makes me interact with you" stare of frustration, disgust and mild pity"
"Also girly coffee culture should die. Its like wine mom cringe but for aspiring girlbosses. Starbucks is bad enough but one of my friends is hooked on her keurig so shes getting a side of microplastics with her anxiety juice."
"Mine is being a naturally soft-spoken person with poor hearing having to yell my Starbucks order through my mask and the plexiglass barrier and also having to ask the barista to repeat themselves because I can't hear them through their mask and the plexiglass barrier"
"Also if you order in person at Starbucks your order should be bumped ahead of all the mobile orders in the queue."
"The vibe shift happened once target stopped having those little cafes that sold popcorn and pretzels and replaced it with just a Starbucks"
"Obviously, outliers exist—like the guy who worked at NVIDIA for a few years and now has stock worth millions—but let's not pretend he's representative of the average CS grad out here grinding LeetCode in a Starbucks."
"You're guaranteed the same 'consumer experience' at a Starbucks in Manhattan as a Starbucks in LA."
"And Starbucks was a place you could sit and drink a coffee then if you liked the music playing you could buy that jazz album on CD? And then the subway guy who was supposed to be "healthy" actually ended up being a pedo and Starbucks saw that in the news and went "no more jazz CDs… and let's do pain"

"here i was, working at STARBUCKS, i was utilizing one of their benefits to get free college tuition so i couldn't risk getting fired. Yennifer treated me like i was nothing. a bug to be squashed."
"Get a $1-$2 "shitty" diner/bodega/hotel lobby coffee. It will make you more grounded to the human experience and you may even learn something about yourself. Plus it's only $1 and barely tastes different from Starbucks - which tastes like the inside of a cows mouth."
"We would get Starbucks every Saturday morning, go to church together on Sunday, she loved wearing yoga pants between October-November, and her dream car was a Jeep Rubicon."
"Nearly every single Starbucks now has a line wrapped around it. Some of the girls don't go a single workday without having their morning Starbucks. Maybe if other places didn't give you a 50/50 chance of giving you a little treat that looked like it was scraped off the pavement Starbucks wouldn't be"

"-No coherent ideology or class consciousness -Chronic back pain -Addicted to Starbucks and McDonald's -Willing to commit violence only as vengeance for personal grievances"
"This cute girl working at Starbucks was giggling so much, she was unabashedly flirting with me while I ordered my mocha latte."
"If drive-throughs are signifiers of car-centric amerifatness, the Starbuck's one is the epitome. You are telling me you woke up, put on some clothes and waited in line for 15-20 min in your car for COFFEE??? Something that takes 5 min to make at home?? This is the downfall of society."
"It was only five days ago me and my sister and my mother were doing our regular daily routine of going around town, getting starbucks and groceries and maybe some take out sometimes because my mother *loves* Chinese food."
"How come you walk by Starbucks and there's 4 white girls and nonbinaries behind the counter all frazzled as shit and you gotta wait 10 minutes for your drink and then you finally order and it's $7 somehow and then you can go to McDonald's and get a coffee for $2.50 and it tastes better and it was ma"
"On the other hand, Megachurch suburban girls love their Starbucks. You go to a Suburban Starbucks and there's a drivethru line out to the road."
"I have a friend from high school whom I love dearly that just posted a video of him walking into Starbucks and yelling at the patrons that they're complicit in genocide because Starbucks donates to Israeli organizations."
"I was sat in a Starbucks studying for and 2 seats away from me was this guy. Initially he was having a really intense conversation with a Ukrainian girl sat next to him, eventually she left and she was like 'nice to meet you!', he kept calling her back to talk more and pretty much pleaded her to 're"
"Laxman Narasimhan even knows that the Indian community largely didn't connect with chai latte and I think he expressed a lot of frustration with that in his last earnings call. He even went as far as to rank chai latte as the least favorite off of the Starbucks menu despite it clearly being their mo"
"The next video of theirs is him cleaning and organising her make up brushes and her make up and then leaving a Starbucks iced coffee next to it with a note in the girliest hand writing saying "I love you"."
"I hate when I'm at McDonald's or Starbucks, and the other people there don't get that I'm eating it as a 'slice of life' of the character I'm playing, or that I'm making a comment on the full familiarity of American life in the flyover states etc..."
"They're closing stores every few years. They're in this weird spot between the cheap and basic coffee (Dunkin, Tim Hortons) and your hip local third wave spot, the left hates them for being anti-union and pro-Israel, while the right hates them for being woke."
"Cracker Barrel having a different vibe than Fridays which has a different vibe than Pizza Hut, which is a different vibe than Starbucks is the only architectural respite from monotony afforded to millions of Americans and a bunch of reatards with MBAs ran focus groups that told them "The TGI Fridays"
"i am a female with a stem degree who is currently working at starbucks since the only alternative is low paid work under an indian manager. sad because the tech field would still be nice right now if it weren't for them overrunning it due to american companies being willing to throw quality into the"
"walked into a Starbucks the other day, truly massive trans pride flag on the wall, the one with all the triangles. Loud clubby music, filled with weirdly attractive people. Overtly sexual atmosphere in the air. Decent vibes ngl. But at what cost?"
"Took 15 minutes to get an iced coffee because there were ten fat chicks all waiting around for giant cups of melted ice cream . How is this a thing now"
"I expect this kind of shit from Starbucks, but not the local places. The baristas are assaulting our ears."
"there is a chain coffee store connected to the gas station that I go to every day to get lunch. Usually for my break I get 3 slices of pizza, find a secluded area in a parking lot, and eat in my car and try to take a nap. But it has come to my attention that the manager of the coffee place is cute, "
"I used to work at Starbucks and heard from some of the older workers the intro of mobile orders shifted everything. I'm seeing now pick-up only Starbucks pop up...for all its faults at least Starbucks used to be counted on as a place to just hang out."
"I feel their relevancy will slip further down as now less and less 50-60 year old libs will be able to buy the paper at starbucks and read it."
"After the gym today, I stopped by Starbucks to get my yearly Pumpkin Spice Latte. The PSL and other flavored Starbucks drinks belong in a different category than normal black coffee. They are desserts. I sat in the line for 10 minutes and a medium drink was $6."
"Some chick literally had a blurry Starbucks cup in the background of her video and the terminally online crowd were really saying 'she needs to be held accountable' and 'there's no way she didn't know'. It's not just this one person or Starbucks either, everyday there's viral tweets about how if you"
"So I used the Starbucks app to buy a brevé and when I go through the drive through the guy handed me my drink and I caught him lingering a stare for half a second, I smiled out of nervousness and he gave me a smile with teeth and I remembered I just switched up my hairstyle with a comb over as sugge"
