      I have never went into a starbucks but there are those little shops in other stores and that coffee smells bad. Like a desert truck stop where the coffee machine is stained and the pots have a thick black buildup of tar.

        Never appealed to me, I rarely eat or drink outside. But if I WANTED to, I’d still avoid big stupid chains and would go to the tiny shops or indeed a truck stop.

        My first date with now-wifey, she invited me to a hotdog at gas-station. We both drown in money but this was a special moment for 2 x 2 moneyz. How could a fancy starbucks latte frappe suckmynut beat this 😁

      I did once. For a tee. 4 €. The tea bag placed next to the paper cup of hot water. Very aromatic though.

        Never saw the appeal. I buy tea by the kilogram and have hundreds of liters from it. If I wanted tea outside, I’d fill a can and take it with me.

        Cheapskate? Yes.

          Cheapskate? No, reasonable. That was a one time mistake. I am now vaccinated.

            Hehe. To each his own. If I’d own Starbucks I would probably be happy about these masses of people willing to spend so much for so little .
