  You do know that Starbucks employs a lot of reddit mods. So the effort to make coffee is pretty low and requires standing
context: I think the exact same way of Panera bread. $10 reheated Progresso soup and $17 for a fucking grilled cheese sandwich. Get fucked. It tastes good because it's basic ass home cooking recipes just with a 1,000% markup. >
  
  I love Panera…but their prices are ridiculous. 2 sandwiches and a soup doordashed is like $50…tastes great…not nearly worth the price tag though. >
  
  I don’t think this opinion is unpopular at all. People shit on Starbucks constantly. Have a downvote my dude >
  
  Starbucks is gross.
  Sugar/syrup and water.  Blech.
  If I’m paying for coffee, I want something that I can’t make for myself at home (for a lot cheaper), so I typically get blended coffees.  But Frappuccinos are horrible. >
  
  You are picking some bad choices. My girlfriend works at Starbucks and brings home something new to try every day. 
  Pumpkin Spice sucks.
  Sugar Cookie is the worst thing they’ve ever done (too much syrup makes it taste like burnt plastic)
  Pink drink (and basically all the colored fruity stuff) they all taste like watered down garbage.
  Firstly, take a look at what kind of cream base you’re getting. Oatmilk seems to be the best choice for good tasting drinks IMO. Coconut milk with coffee = vomit taste (don’t do it!). 
  First and foremost, you gotta like coffee. I’m an iced coffee guy…anything hot just isn’t refreshing. However, make sure to get light pumps of basically any syrup flavors. Too much syrup makes the coffee taste horrendous. 
  Get lots of espresso shots…low amount of syrup…oat milk for cream…and get it all on ice. You can’t go wrong with a lightly flavored iced coffee…the mistake people make is trying to get all fancy and flavorful and basically making the coffee not be what it’s about.
  As far as food goes…they suck at food. It’s simple as that, however…they have a grilled cheese that is surprisingly good. 
  Some people just don’t like coffee…and Starbucks probably won’t satisfy you if you don’t love coffee. >
  
  I would trust you ordering my drink
