What is so great about Starbucks?
Maybe it’s I’m not a “professional” coffee drinker. You know, the ones who rattle off twenty things they want in their coffee. Usually, I just want a regular cup of joe with some cream and sugar.
Which I have found when they make that, it usually stinks. So if I’m wanting coffee and wanting something that has decent taste, I end up getting a caramel macchiato instead.
Maybe I need to go to coffee school so I can know how to get a good cup of coffee out of them. Or maybe I am supposed to ask for the dark roast instead?
Am I turning into a yuppie? (Gasp!) I’m writing about Starbucks after all. 😱
My Middle Age life! 
I am not trying to talk negative about Starbucks but I don’t see what the big deal is. I like a regular cup of coffee with sugar and cream. I don’t even know how to order from there. Its way to complicated lol. And to be perfectly honest I really can’t tell the difference between a Starbucks cup of coffee or the gas station espresso machine. I had a hot chocolate from the gas station the other day and if I was told it was from Starbucks I would have believed it. 🤣

I actually have found the coffee at my local Wawa tastes better to me. Before the pandemic mess 7-Eleven was decent but ever since the crud, you are hard press to find a decent cup there. I think Starbucks is just a status symbol. Just like what car you drive or what phone you carry to be honest. I pray you are doing well my Ethernet friend.

I am trying. Had a bad episode online last night. Trying to shrug things off.

Online? Well if it has to do with people you don’t know personally then definitely shrug it off. You know how some people online can be, they think they are invincible.

I started at Starbucks in 1990, having worked in some indie coffee houses places BEFORE that. But I’ve always liked a good, dark, fully flavored cup of drip. It’s my go to at any coffee shop figuring that if they can’t get that right, I’m not trying the espresso-based drinks.

I am so bad!!! I didn’t realize your comment was stuck in pending. My bad. Guess I got to look at my settings in the app. It’s funny. I remember the “younger years” when I didn’t give a damn for coffee. Funny how things change.
