I was working a job at MSG here in NYC. Doing nothing for a time, the tech manager asked me (excuse me, aksed me) to get him a Starbucks.
He aksed for a quatro vente frappiccino.
My jaw dropped.
I ain't gonna aks for that in NYC, you must be goofing me.
Sure enough, the "barista" spewed one out - the nastiest burnt smelling coffee I ever did smell. Makes truckstop coffee smell like fresh homemade brownies.
Then the price for that nasty looking and smelling mess!
But it's everywhere and quite popular, even in places I'd never expected. I think if someone named Starbucks ran for president - they'd win. Feh!
What nasty 5h1t!
To each their own. But they have helped to kill the m&p coffee shop in major cities. Thankfully, NYC downtown still thrives. But try to find a decent cuppa in DC, LA or MIA and you'll be walking a while.
