Yes. Anything coming in a Starbucks cup costs way too much.

If you buy just a normal coffee then its absolutely terrible. But its difficult to sell coffee and up charge for that so its all the coffee like products they are trying to sell. I had a room mate that once worked for Starbucks and the inside joke was that they were actually a Dairy company. They went through a shite ton of milk related products.

I like coffee. Real, pure, black coffee.
If you have to put a bunch of crap in it to make it palatable, I don't won't it.

Consumer Christmas? Have you been living in a fallout shelter for the last 60 years? Christmas has ALWAYS been about buying shite.

As a "devout" christian, what the fack do I care if a non-Christian company doesn't do Christiany stuff. Seems a little pretentious.

And Starbucks coffee is crap awful.

There are a lot of evangelical Christians out there who want to feel persecuted, like they're a martyr for something. A lot of the people making a fuss about Starbucks and the "War on Christmas" probably also bitch about "everyone in society is offended these days" without detecting a shred of irony.

I'm not upset at all. People need to stop thinking the world is supposed to be some perfect utopia that panders to their every wish and belief.

The race to see who can be the biggest victim is disgusting and quite frankly it's detrimental to the principles our Republic was founded on. The main principle being tolerance and acceptance of other people's viewpoints. We forget that Christians fled to America to escape persecution for worshiping in the wrong church, and helped found this country on the basis of religious freedom and the freedom to express ones views without persecution. We cannot allow ourselves to silence or control others because disagree with them. Don't like Starbucks cups? Don't eat there, they're not entitled to pander to you. Don't like someone saying racist things? Don't fricking talk to them. It's that easy

A pagan holiday? Having nothing to do with the birth of Jesus from Nazareth?

Funny how Christians rag on so called "social justice warriors" yet get their panties in a wad if Starbucks takes off a Christmas design from a damn coffee cup

I've had a couple people pop up on my feed supporting boycotting Starbucks because Trump said to.

And yet, Starbucks has had a very non-Christian logo on there all this time.

Have you seen any of the approximately 137 different threads about Mizzou all over TD? Apparently a lot of people's jimmies are immensely rustled by the fact that some people's jimmies get rustled.

You don't know the half of it. We'd have 80 gallons in reserve for a big weekend and run out before the milk order came in on Monday.

That blended crap is mostly milk + maple syrup + instant coffee. Those espresso drinks are two ounces of coffee and the rest steamed milk.
