A really unimpressive coffee company that is over hype by middle school kids who think they are emo but are just hormonal and bitchier than the more superior of the human race. Everything taste like coffee, I shit you not. Go in and get a hot chocolate. What do you expect in your hot chocolate? Hot water, Chocolate mix or syrup... That's simple right? Nah they're all like "Yo, I'mma put coffee in this so that way it just tastes the same as EVERYTHING ELSE in this shop." Way to alienate your possible consumers. Oh and the sizes are a bitch too. Tall? Vente? Grande? Uhm... Aren't tall and grande close to being synonymous? Don't matter, they're all over priced and basically the same size anyways. They're putting their stores in funeral homes. Well that's just fucking depressing. Imagine the people who have to work at those homes and see sad people all day and dead bodies? They make sales expecting people to drown their misery in hot chocolate/ coffee, coffee milk/ coffee flavored coffee.
I wonder what would happen if starbucks opened its own deli. Would the sandwiches be "Ham and coffee grinds?" Or "Coffee bean and swiss?" They would have head cheese but instead of meat in the head cheese it would be coffee grinds.
I say "Screw that" Go to dunkin donuts, get yourself a hot chocolate that tastes like it's supposed to.

A coffee house company known for being the only thing in the world you can say is in every corner without exaggeration.
Starbucks stores are everywhere from the street right accross Starbucks, to a section inside China's holy Forbidden City.
Sure, this might be hilariously annoying, but hey, it's good coffee.
And at the same time, a not-so-bad corporation.
Granted, it used to be a bad corporation a decade ago, worthy of having had its windows smashed during the WTO protests in Seattle, and the ridiculous number of Starbucks-per-acre are a clear remnant of its scare tactics in which some of these coffee houses ran on deficit just so that small local coffee houses were forced to close down.
But this is a thing of the past, and, especially compared to any other corporation, Starbucks has had a change of heart.
Currently, their coffee is delicious, and supports Fair Trade. Maybe only 6% of its coffee comes from Fair Trade from small independent coffee-growing cooperatives, but that six percent is still half of the entire coffee fair trade in America. They pay their employers decently, and while its attempts at promoting a Bohemian-like culture and attitude with its jazzy music and overall ambient is at best mediocre, it's still more culture than the average American bothers to get involved in.
There is one bad thing with Starbucks though: most of its customers. Starbucks sells good coffee, but so do many other local coffee shops. It is only reasonable to buy the best tasting coffee, yet a big number of Starbucks customers go to Starbucks because it's Starbucks! Remember, flavor is very important, but so is buying local.

Trendy kid - Let's get a vente mocha at Starbucks.
Kid that thinks - Q8 makes a better mocha than Starbucks.
Trendy kid - But what social status does Q8 have?
Wannabe rebel kid - Man I hate Starbucks! It's a fucking corporation!
Kid that thinks - I hate greedy corporations as much as the next guy, but you do know Starbucks is very into Fair Trade and even closed all its stores for one day at the expense of millions of dollars just so that they could teach their employers better how to make a good cup of coffee?
Wannabe rebel kid - I did not know that...
*and both become the wiser thereafter*

Major coffee shop chain that originated in Seattle and is now literally found everywhere in the world. Contrary to popular belief, the company charges you $4 not for the coffee, but for you to have the right to carry around their cups and feel cool. This is because their coffee sucks. Every person that has ever gone there has thought "I could make the exact same drink at home 10 times better". But most of them decide to return because it makes them feel cool. They also sell bad CD's that include "Dave Mathews band" and "Barbara Streisand". If they decide to charge $8 for the worst coffee ever people will buy it because it carries the Starbucks logo or just simply because they're idiots. Anyone who spends over $200 a year in Starbucks is an asshole. Their coffee is not good at all.
14 Year old girl: "Starbucks is sooo good."
40 Year old male (Girl's dad): "You have no idea what good coffee is, Starbucks sucks, you suck, you idiot.

The headquarters of every white girl in the world. This is where all the white girls come together and talk about their perf uggs, iPhones, coffee, and the latest yoga pants and like guys with blue eyes and washboard abs.
Regina George : omg Gretchen let's go to Starbucks and talk about blue eyes and washboard abs.
Gretchen Weiners : omg Regina that sounds like a great idea.

Where yuppies go every morning. also where white people who studied liberal arts in college go every day because they like to congregate and talk about how the job market is terrible when in reality they aren't qualified for any job because writing and analyzing poetry is not a job skill. You can expect to see tons of white college kids there as well complaining how college tuition has gone up, when their parents pay for it and their only expenses are DUI tickets and 5$ of starbucks every day for 4 years...do the math.
Suburban white kid: I'm making a starbucks run who wants to go?
Others: me me me!
They drive away
Black dude: why don't they study? Aren't they afraid their gonna get kicked out?
Hispanic: naw they pay full tuition so as long as they don't shoot anyone they're fine.
Inner city white kid: don't they realize they spend thousands of dollars on bad coffee every year?
Immigrant kid: my parents risked a lot to get here, I party, but ill loose my scholarship if I don't work.
Chinese kid: well maybe they don't need to do work all they take are minimum requirements and liberal arts courses, what do they plan on doing when they graduate?
Others: me me me!

Probably the most successful chain of coffee franchise around the globe. Founded back around 40 years ago, it has excelled it the proportion to fit the best taste for the majority of customers, providing the best taste and sensation to your tongue and mind then ever you can achieve. Alongside with all the delicate snacks available, these coffee shops might be as well a decent place as to study.

George: " Sure thing, really. "
