What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence? (feddit.uk)

Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

Sometimes I'll swing by Starbucks before my hour long commute to work I feel guilty each time because all but one coffee shop in town closed down but we have like 7 Starbucks now, one literally across the street from the other

Whenever I get Starbucks I feel guilty because they are union busters. I've been making a lot more coffee at home.

Starbucks accepted the union. The union won.

Not that I'm saying you should support Starbucks, but at least they stopped the union busting.

This is a great reply because fuck Starbucks. Love it!

Socially unacceptable? Every person I've ever worked with does this or has done this regularly at some point in their lives. There's a reason Starbucks is everywhere. No offense, but I wish this triggered more shame in people. Instead, it's normal behavior.

Some Starbucks locations operate at a loss to saturate a market and ensure no competitors can move in. Hence why you sometimes end up with them so close together.

At peak a city of about 40,000 people that I lived in had 11 Starbucks within 3 miles, it was insane.
