I was annoyed enough to write all of this up. I used to go regularly, and the rewards program was genuinely a good deal, and made it worth going to Starbucks. Now, even if I set aside all of the horrible things they're doing, I wanted to show just what an absolute shit program this is, and why there is absolutely no use in trying to "gain starbucks status".

Even as an American, I've stopped drinking this garbage years ago.

Virtually every Mom and Pop shop tastes better at this point so do yourself a favor and support a local small business instead.

I started brewing mine again. It's gonna take me more time to go to a drive through or gas station, while costing me money than it actually takes me to make a cup in the morning.

Plus it's guaranteed to be made how I like it.

I love my Lavazza coffee blend. I grind and brew it as often as I can. However, I have days where I hit the fuckit button at 5am and have to buy coffee somewhere.

Check out !espresso@infosec.pub if you want to really go deep into brewing your own

Well that’s a whole nother rabbit hole…

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Tastes better and is cheaper.

Like unless your coffee drink is a children's dessert beverage then I really have 0 idea why anyone goes.

I gave up completely and just bought an espresso machine. Sure it’s gigantic and it and the grinder take up a fuck ton of counter space, but turns out making a latte the way I like it wasn’t that hard to learn.

[–] comador@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Jealous. I wish I could do that, but I neither have the space nor the money for a good espresso machine. I'm a major fan of Breville btw.

[–] aGlassDarkly@piefed.zip 2 points 4 days ago

I coveted mine (variations of the LUCCA A53) for about seven years before I could manage the funds. It still feels absurd but I can’t argue with the results.

I haven't been to a Starbucks since 2012

Thankfully there's more than one Mom and Pop shop. So our sneakers (and Sienfelds) will eventually show up somewhere...

Good memories. Now I have to go full 'no soup for you' on my kids tomorrow.

[–] spacelord@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No soup for you, only mutton chops. 😄

Yeah, Seinfeld storylines and quotes are so engraved in my subconscious that for any situation, Seinfeld's the first thing that comes to mind 😆

If you haven't seen it, watch Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! on HBO Max. Jerry Seinfeld is on it several times.
