Am I the only person who has never had a Starbucks beverage? |
|
Just never have. Haven't avoided them or anything....

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. Duckie

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.

Ugh, I can't stand it at all.

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.

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. The Professor

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.

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.
