I agree 100% and I am kind of glad that you started this thread. It's amazing how many people go about their day like sheep and refuse to use their brains.
Here is something that really butters my balls and I find absolutely ridiculous; People who go to Starbucks to pay $5 (or more) for a cup of coffee when you can get the same cup of coffee (if not better) across the street at another vendor for $2 (or less). Do these people go to Starbucks because they think that Starbucks coffee comes from magic coffee beans that other stores do not carry? If they do, it couldn't be the furthest from the truth. There are about 10 franchises that I could name where you can get a large cup for 3 or 4 dollars cheaper and get better quality coffee as well.
The best part is, these are the same people who sit there at Starbucks and complain to each other about paying $3.50 for a gallon of gas. You just wanna grab em' by the throat and say, "Do you realize you just paid more then $5 for a cup of coffee??!!" If a cup of coffee is worth $5 or more, then a gallon of gas is worth $3.00. In fact, I think a gallon of gas is worth a lot more then a cup of coffee.
If these same jerks would just switch to Dunkin' Donuts, Sheetz, or any other cheaper cup of coffee, or latte, or mocha, (or whatever hot caffeine people drink now) they would save $3 (minimum) per day on coffee alone. This comes out to about $20 a week or about $80 a month which is enough to fill your gas tank almost twice a month.
People, there is nothing magical about Starbucks! You are paying for a name. In fact, the coffee from Starbucks tastes more like tar and syrup then coffee. If you go to Starbucks daily, just go try coffee at different places and compare the taste to price. I guarantee you will find a better place which saves you at least $2-$3 a day on COFFEE.
Use your brain. That's why god gave it to you.
