I most people go there now to order sugary drinks. I have to be extra clear I don’t want any sugar or syrups. They put sugar in their iced coffee by default now.
Recently I ordered an iced black tea tea. I said no sugar and the guy then asks “do you want lemonade with that?” 😐

The majority of people at Starbucks didn’t drink plain coffee. Starbucks is a milkshake company.

And a hugely overpriced pastry/cookie company.
My wife gets the occasional Starbucks gift card from work of friends, so she saves them up and then me, her, and the kids go there (so it used to be about once every 9-10 months).
Used to be that you could get small coffees, hot chocolates and a little snack for each person for about $30. Now to get that same stuff it’s like $50. Suffice to say, we’re going there even less often now. Which I’m fine with, since I don’t like Starbucks.

It’s tough because corp people that I have worked with congrats with Starbucks gift cards. That ignore everything else. I just have to smile and say thanks, 😂
