Like, he may literally have been thinking "because you dumb bitches will pay that", but obviously couldn't say it. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 points 4 months ago (1 child) Bingo. I haven't had Starbucks in 14 years, even then I would get one on occasion only because that was the coffee shop on my work campus. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) It's not like it's a unique offering at this point either. Everyone and their dog has complicated syrupy coffee/tea drinks on their menu. I don't know, maybe the busy-but-nicer-than-McDonalds ambiance is worth it to some people. If it's anything like Tim Hortons, lots of people just buy out of pure habit as well. Either way, that's their business, not the person selling it. permalink fedilink source parent
