f*** Starbucks.
I usually don't make threads to rant, and maybe I'm the only one, but I f***ing hate Starbucks. Maybe it's because I live in Southern California. Maybe it's because I have a girlfriend obsessed with it. I. Do. Not. Get. It. It's a bunch of over thought, over sugared drinks. It's always busy. Their workers tend to be douchey. Their food is small yet incredibly overpriced. And what annoys me the most...their actual coffee, like regular ass coffee...tastes like shit. I'm sorry. Rant over.
What do you like about Starbucks?

I went to Starbucks like about 3x since they opened up in my area about 7 years ago. I bought iced coffees for like about $4 or $5 taxes in, and they put a lot of ice in it. I don't really understand the big deal about it, and I haven't been there in like 2 years or so. I pass by the one in my local mall, and it usually has like 10-15 people there, so they seem to be doing fairly well, even in a Tim Horton's-dominated market.
I prefer Tim Horton's anyway, which is in Canada (where I am), and some US states, but probably not California. Starbucks is a minor player in the coffee market compared to Tim's around here.

I hate and boycott Starbucks for reasons that would get me banned if I discussed them here

I like their frappuccinos but for straight up coffee, I'd rather go to Dunkin Donuts, Wawa, Quick Chek, Tim Hortons (we got one nearby and AFAIK it's like one of the only TH's in the state), or make my own. Their regular coffees just aren't very good.

It is ok and I go there sometimes cause it is near my work and opens earlier than the places I would like to go to. I think in general though for coffee it is better to do local places over chains but I do that with most food things, just like the idea of getting something that I can't get everywhere else.

Frappuccinos are fantastic, but I would not go out of my way or wait in a 20 person line to get one.

I just can't remember what sizes are small, medium, and large. Otherwise, It doesn't bother me. I went to one, once, where the girl behind the counter, cleaned the utensils after i ordered, even though no one was in front of me, because I have a nit allergy. She even asked if I was okay, before I left. It was a nice gesture.

I prefer my coffee straight black, and I spend extra for quality coffee for my house so there’s not much reason for me to go there. They’re alright if you like sweet coffees I guess.

I think Starbucks and Costa are both overpriced and I very rarely get takeaway coffee. Whoever came up with that racket is a genius though.

That is one thing I respect about Starbucks: the baristas are usually receptive about food allergies, diabetes, or other special dietary needs. Though you sometimes run into an asshole who thinks you're being trendy instead of having a dietary requirement and tries to use as an example to be a rebel or edgy counter-culture or whatever. Fortunately, if management finds out, they'll get fired like immediately because it could be a matter of life and death in some cases. Also, I think the sizes are Tall (small), Grande (medium), and Venti (large). Why they just can't use small, medium, and large, I don't know.

I don't drink coffee. Never have. Now I can't drink caffeine.
However, I can't say I hate or like Starbucks. I've never actually been to one. Must be because I'm in probably one of the few places in the US where there simply isn't one anywhere nearby.
Looking it up, nearest one for me would be in a Casino in Deadwood SD, 43.something miles away.

Never been to one.
But I'm not a big coffee drinker... but if I want one I am usually within walking distance of a Dunkin' Donuts.
and then I can also get donuts.

If I go to Starbucks, it's either for regular coffee or an Americano. Aside from that, I don't touch the other drinks, too much sugar for my tastes.

I'll treat myself to a caramel macchiato every week or so. Our sales manager at work orders one large cup of chai latte every freaking day! It's gotta cost at least $180/month.
