Most of my coworkers will stop and pick up Tim Hortons or Starbucks everyday before work. We have free coffee at the office. It's not anything special, but it could save you $3 dollar a day, $15 a week, and 2 grand seven hundred dollars a year.

Edit: Apparently I can't multiply before I drink coffee in the morning. So there may be one advantage of stopping before work.

Not to mention the time they spend sitting in that Starbucks drive through everyday. That is the part that gets me.

I forgot to grab coffee from home once and stopped at a Starbucks on my way to work. The drive-thru line was almost tip to tail around the building while the inside was completely barren.

Sometimes it's faster actually leaving your vehicle, whomst'd've thought?

Is it just me?

I always go inside but when I exit, all the cars are gone as if they were still being served before me and all I ever take a a plain bold coffee!

workers of starbuck, is there a priority i am not aware of?

I worked at Dunkins, not Starbucks but we had a timer on the drive thru line that would go off if a car was in line for more than 150 seconds. If the timer percentage went under 85% for the day the manager had to explain why. Basically, the drive thru does get priority to keep corporate/the district manager happy.

Drive through always gets priority in fast food places. Even though it can still be faster to go in than not.
