Comment on Boycott Starbucks

  I definitely fall into that category and I don’t rate Starbuck’s either. I also thought Tim Hortons was incredibly mid and Canadians love that shit so what so I know.

    I tend to describe Tim Hortons coffee as ‘tepid dumpster juice’

    Timmie’s flavoured lattes are so sweet that it’s probably sugar addiction.

  They have this ad that “only 2% of the worlds coffee is good enough for Starbucks” but the real stat is more like “Starbucks uses 2% of the world’s coffee” 😂

  People who like coffee flavoured things but not coffee.

  But why go to a massive international corporation for that? Local independent cafes exist and many of them do much better coffee cakes.

    Convenience. I make my coffee at home, but I pass dozens of Dunkins, Starbucks, gas stations, etc. on my way to work. Can’t say I’d be able to locate a local café in my area.

      Never heard of dunkins. Is it convenience or laziness?

        They used to be called “Dunkin Donuts”, I think the name changed to “Dunkin”. They are a widely known brand in the United States.

        I’ve never been to their coffee shops but the coffee you can buy of theirs at the grocery store is alright.

        Its convenience but also around here, the private coffee shops that aren’t commercialized are more expensive.

        A bit of both, I’d wager. Same goes for fast food and whatnot.
