Fun Stuff > CHATTER
ATTN CANADIANS!
Lines:
The one on my campus makes them properly, but I wouldn't really know about anywhere else. Depends on who makes the mix, really. Once I had a chai from Panera that was a mix of water and mucus-like mix (it was an iced one), because the new guy made it and it was crap, but every other time I got it at the same store, it was fine.
Skinny Jeans:
Its true they do taste watered down, however I still found myself wandering into Starbucks every day my senior year of high school before I wandered into my welding class first period.
Side note: whoever thought to put welding first period was a moron, trusting teens with fire hot enough to melt metal at 7:30 am was a ridiculous idea
Cernunnos:
Not to mention the whole high voltage deal. And the blinding light. And the fumes. I can see it now- some poor kid, blind, electrocuted, on fire, with heavy metal poisoning. Not a great way to start your day.

However, this means that when I go to one of our local non-chain coffee shops, I just end up getting the bubble tea instead of the other great beverages they make.

What superfantasticalmagical coffee are you all drinking that Starbucks coffee could be called "awful" or other such colorful adjectives?
I'm digging the hyperbole here, but c'mon.
I love the atmosphere of an independent shop and often the product sold is a superior one, but I also have no problem sitting in a cozy starbucks with my black bold blend coffee or my occasional ridiculous cafe mocha. I also happen to love that the Target I work in has a Starbucks 5 feet away from the service desk. Temptation, thy name is.
If one drink is superior to a similar competing drink, that fact is enough for the first to stand on. By severely bashing the similar product, which does it's job of BEING coffee and TASTING like coffee just fine, you lose a bit of credibility.
I get that we all want to save the independent types sitting on the fringes of Big Bad Business but turning into a melodramatic snob about it doesn't really help the case.
