I have one daughter who absolutely loves Starbucks. She goes regularly with a friend of hers. I think I've only been to Starbucks once and ordered a regular coffee, and that was only because I was with my daughter.
Give me regular black coffee (none of this sissy stuff)
It IS a huge ripoff as far as I'm concerned. If I want something resembling a Hot Fudge Sundae and/or a dessert type drink, I'll order a milk shake and probably pay 3/4 dollars less than this "glorified" coffee.
Gotta give it to whomever concepts it was....they are rollin' in the dough.
