Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Starbucks didn't deserve to be in Korea. Korea has sooo many great cafes.

I've never purchased Starbucks and they tried and failed here since we already have better coffee than anywhere in USA (Australia), but if they ever try again, I'll add another reason to avoid them.

The actual coffee from starbucks was never good coffee. But US likes their sweets so there will be stuff like :tripple caramel, cream, oat frappucino venti (the fuck do I know).

It's just not coffee anymore.

It's liquid candy with a little coffee in it

They clearly saw the pushback against the Kendall Jenner ad for Pepsi and thought: "The reason it didn't succeed is because there was no real conflict. We can change that."
