It’s your own damn fault for trying to get food at fucking Starbucks, the coffee isn’t even good unless you’re at pikes place
Yeah, support a local sandwich shop.
Probably won’t be much cheaper but it’ll be ten times the quality.
My family ran a local sandwich shop for years. Here’s the problem.
If this is downtown, the local sandwich shop isn’t even there, in part because Starbucks helped price them out of being able to rent. Every supermarket now has a sandwich counter too, so local sandwich shops don’t do well in shopping centers either. Fast food has slightly improved their quality over the years so that’s more competitors at the low end. And Subway, period.
You’re paying for the convenience at Starbucks and in some cases convenience is valuable. If you don’t care about time and can go out of your way to a local sandwich shop, you get better food for less.
Luckily the downtown in the city where I live doesn’t allow chain restaurants so I have many options for decently priced food.
Idk…local independent shops aren’t necessarily cheaper. There is a local coffee shop somewhat by me and it’s more expensive than Starbucks. Independent places don’t have the advantage of mass scale like the big name fast food and chain places do. When I go independent, I often find myself paying more money for less convenience. So it’s not even just convenience that you’re sacrificing
Also how else is the roof of your mouth going to get tougher without starbucks sandwiches?
Coffee will be better as well. Starbucks burns their beans so they can guarantee the same “quality” flavor at every location.
Not entirely true, the stores that unionized have better tasting coffee in comparison to regular sb
Yeah I also heard the unionized stores don’t have bathrooms because everybody shits rainbows.
