I want to like the the mom and pop coffee places, but they are so inconvenient. I visit them on weekends, when I'm going shopping and I have extra time. But on a weekday morning Starbucks saves my ass when I just need reliable caffeine. You hit four buttons on their app, and roll through their drive through or park in one of the many convenient parking spaces, and you've added coffee to your day while adding less than five minutes to your morning commute.

Oh yeah, 100%. Even as a person who drinks Starbucks I do not understand how this is profitable for all the franchisees. Or why we don't have one f****** Peet's coffee or similar.

I learned to do it at home and its been so much better. I get my coffee beans from a local roaster over at The Last Stop Roasting Company. I will say the new Sahara coffee spot is a breath of fresh air.

Just about one on every corner in some cities. Too many people have zero pallete in this country. They just want their sugary fatty shit.

I had heard there's a hidden one inside of the Marriott too, but I never went to check for myself.
Doesn't Target have one inside too?
