I used to manage a Starbucks in Hawaii. It's a fairly good coffee shop with a great atmosphere. The coffee is overrated but along with a few other smaller comanies, (Peets, Seattle's Best ect) they pioneered the specialty coffee market.
As of now, just like everything else in our culture, people are just brainwashed lemmings and go along with the crowd, myself included, and pay out the *** for coffee. I've quit drinking Starbucks for political reasons. |

They sprinkle crack in their drinks so people will get hooked and keep coming back. |

Starbucks doesn't make just coffee, they make mixed drinks, frappucinos (the best), tea, and food as well. Their coffee has great taste and quality, and until you try it, you shouldn't be judging it so harshly. Oh, and some coffee and drinks are under $4. ;) |

Amen! I have been known to meet people there and have a cup, but always begrudgingly, and never at my own suggestion. It cost about 20 cents a cup to make it yourself at home, and is much more relaxing and enjoyable to drink it at home than to fight traffic over to a coffee shop and stand in line for it. But I understand that for some people it's the "social" aspect of it. See, be seen, chat, whatever.... I still prefer my coffee in the comfort and privacy of my own home, in my pajamas. If I want gourmet coffee, I buy the grounds and have that at home too, for only 40 cents a cup. |

They don't pay $4 for a cup of coffee. They pay about $1.89 for a cup of coffee. Not much more than you would pay at a filling station, and it is much better coffee.
The $4 stuff is not just coffee. It's the cappuccinos, frappuccinos, lattes, etc.
Just plain coffee at Starbucks isn't that expensive.
The specialty drinks require someone who knows how to make them. Also you are paying for the cup. Thick paper cups with plastic lids aren't free. But you'd pay for that at any filling station too. |

Because it's good. They've found a formula that people like and come back for. I cannot afford to pay that much on a regular basis so for me it's a sometimes treat...
People who don't like it go to Seattle's Best, a mom & pop place or even the gas station, but in my opinion they're all over priced so why not buy the one I like. |

Starbucks coffee beans are over-roasted. They do this on purpose because by over-roasting the beans the flavor becomes very addicting. The coffee beans make you want to come back to Starbucks and buy more of their coffee. That is why they are so successful and that is why people buy their expensive coffee. |
