      I’m convinced people only go to Starchucks for the sugar squirts. The actual coffee itself is fucking disgusting burnt shit. Why not just sprinkle some ashes and a caffeine pill on the candy of your choice?

      I have literally no idea how that chain blew up. Did they used to make good coffee?

        I’d say they invested heavily in stuff like ambiente, cozy chairs, free wifi. If your plan is to be on your laptop in a relatively cozy but impersonal environment, Starbucks is often a better option than more traditional cafés.

        Also, it’s not just the sugar squirts, but also the absurd coffee-to-milk ratio.
