Let me start off by saying I don’t get the whole “I need my Starbucks” mentality. My wife loves Starbucks and is perfectly willing to stand in line for one. I have never been a coffee guy and so I’m obviously biased and honestly a little pissed that there is no soda offered so basically I’m shut out when it comes to getting anything there. That aside, I can’t see how any coffee can be good enough to warrant waiting in a huge drive thru line.
One of the seemingly endless (although that is changing with all the store closures) of Starbucks here in Vegas is in a parking lot that also has a McDonald’s, Del Taco, and a grocery store. At times, the drive thru line is so long that it completely stops traffic through parts of the parking lot which is quite annoying to those of us who, God forbid, aren’t actually trying to get a venti double skim double latte frappawhaterino. What happened to Coffee, Black?
On the store closings, people are acting like its some surprise. For God’s sake, here in Vegas there is literally a Starbucks in the parking lot of another Starbucks.
So, given my inability to understand what all the fuss is about, this site seems over the top to me. I can’t think of ANY consumer product, food, or business that I love or am so interested in that would warrant such treatment. I love the concept of the gossip but I wonder at who really goes to the site. I mean
COME ON PEOPLE, ITS COFFEE!
