could they fix the gd coffee? I refuse to buy it. ashes in your mouth, clearly burnt and nauseating. I always go to Phils (not to be confused with Peets) for a good cup a' joe the starbucks bathrooms are very nice. they should charge a dollar to use them and just give up on the coffee. in fact they could just charge by the hour to use the chairs and bathrooms and people would still go. at this point I think the customers are just buying the coffee out of guilt or to not be thrown out for being cheap. starbucks is a business with no real product

I am sure you will appreciate this nuanced analysis:

disclaimer: I am not a member of the Philz cult - or Starbucks' PSL cult. There probably isn't much overlap between the two groups.

Their non-coffee beverages are pretty tasty imo. Very unhealthy and overpriced, but tasty.

The coffee is garbage.
