Coffee
Like my commenter, I love Starbucks too! Same exact reason: when I walk in, everybody knows my name, my drink (coffee, no room for anything), my mom (decaf, room for milk and two Sweet and Lows), my best friend (tall double shot nonfat latte) and my boyfriend (doesn't go to Starbucks, but they hear about him anyway.) I just love the manager of my local Starbucks, Alex, and I chat with all the employees. They give me free stuff on a regular basis, and I feel guilty for cheating on them by going to another Starbucks! I don't eat the food, I just drink the plain old coffee. We even brew Starbucks Fair Trade blend at home, now that MR has me making my morning coffee here.
It's 4 am and I just got up. I'm meeting a nurse at 5:45 am to give her flyers to take into work (she starts at 6) so I have to leave in about an hour. Off we go...

Blech on Starbucks coffee - if I go in there its to get an Americano with room for half-n-half, or the newly-internet-fabled "Short Cappucino", which is a cappucino done nearly to the correct proportions by forcing the barista to make it in a tiny (8oz) cup. Neat trick!
I guess I agree with many Starbucks haters in that their drip coffee is overroasted and bitter, but thankfully I can stand their espresso, hence the Americano or cappucino orders....
