17. That's what I said at first
until they threw me a bucket of iced coffee with a monster shot of chocolate in it. I gave up.

Whipped cream optional.

28. They have some great teas, hot or iced.
I usually only drink hot drinks in the morning and winter, so their Black iced tea lemonade was made for people like me.

5. Me neither. Of course, I'm not a coffee drinker, so that's part of it.
Even though I do drink tea, I just can't justify spending that much money on one.

29. Us coffee-haters are apparently a pretty rare breed, huh?
Ugh, I can't stand it at all.

10. I've never gone.
I'm not much of a coffee person, so I wouldn't pay that much for a cup.

13. Starbucks coffee feels like it's burning a hole in my stomach lining
i try to avoid them but every now and then i have a caramel macchiato which is really more like a dessert.

14. Not the only one
I've never been able to justify spending that much on a cup of coffee. Now Jamba Juice, on the other hand....

15. I actually have never had a coffee from there.
the only time i have been there is to meet other DUers twice in Harvard Square prior to a political lecture (once we met we moved on to elsewhere) and one other time during the GOP convention protests in NYC with another DUer. I might have purchased a water or diet coke but never a coffee. :shrug:

21. Only Had Them At Airports
Wouldn't bother with them on the road, or the way to work or anything. But, when one is waiting in an airport, one tends to get whatever is convenient. Besides, United serves their coffee on the planes. So, i've had that plenty of times.

But, i've never gone into one of their brick & mortar joints.

22. Nope, never have....
For one thing, I really hate coffee, but I still won't go in for any of their other beverages because they are wildly overpriced and the whole Starbuck's "culture" makes me gag.

24. Never have
The nearest one is about 40 miles away (rural Michigan). Even when I've had the chance, I skipped it -- afraid I just might like them, and then I'd know what I'm missing!

30. SB brought the soy latte into the mainstream
I am indebted to them for that, and they don't treat their employees that bad. Could be worse.
