Comment on Starbucks continues to be terrible

Shop local. It’s just coffee. Don’t let the marketers tell you any different. For sweet creamy syrupy treats go to the ice cream store. Let’s not support the current system of the bigwig at the top who does very little and reaps most of the rewards.
But the local shops are often treating employees that starbucks couldn’t possibly get away with. Source: ex who worked 14 hr shifts at 4 different places for a couple months each and came out at net negative.
There are some nice places though, where oftentimes barista is the owner, and not just some stupid rich kid trying his hand at entrepreneurship.
Hell even my regular coffee shop does most of the milkshakes fancy coffees that Starbucks does.
I drink black coffee but they do look really good

Plus ordering there takes 3x longer than if I just made a coffee at home. They are not convenient unless you are traveling and have no access to a coffee maker.
