That's the reason I won't go the Starbuck's. I went in and asked for a small coffee (years ago) and the lady asked me, "what flavor?" When I replied "coffee flavor" she looked at me like I had grown another head.

Now they are even more pretentious.

Weird. Last I remember they had the Pike Place blend/roast, which is just good, regular coffee, and cheaper than the rest of the fancier lineup. Never had any problems with the service, either, though I much more commonly go to Dunks.

I haven’t eaten fast food in a long time.

After a long hiatus from it I wanted to get one of my favorite fast food sandwiches. I couldn’t stand it. Maybe it was terribly made but it didn’t appear to be any different. I’m not sure I want to try again.

Discovered in my 30's that I have a low level soy allergy, and after actually keeping to a soy free diet it's amaizing how violently my tastebuds rebel when I lapse and eat something with soy in it.

Oi. I love so very many things with soy. Including edamame and tofu.

I have a mild coconut and coffee allergy.

Coconut cuts my mouth up, somehow.
Coffee, hours later, makes my stomach try and tear its way out of me.

The coconut thing is easy, if I bit it and it hurt after just a little bit of chewing I stop.

The coffee one is bad, I like coffee, for a while I’d drink some and be like “oh! I’m OK” then hours later the claws come out. Usually when I’m trying to sleep. Hopefully I won’t do that again. But coffee is soooo gooood.

I had the chance to try some about 15 or 20 years ago, and, oh my!

It. was. amazing.

I'd never drink it now, having learned of the abuses involved. But yeah... it's weird that something so icky can be so tasty. Which just goes to show - yet again - that, if humans are undeniably good anything at all, being abusive and being weird are definitely two of the top contenders.

For me, Starbucks either has extremely mediocre coffee to the worst coffee ever.

I'm a coffee snob so but I also have high tolerance for bad coffee. I can drink burnt black coffee from my local café like its water. But Starbucks can somehow make even me repulsed with a crapton of sugar and creamer.

The only one I can stomach from Starbucks is that one chocolate chip Frappuccino, and really, who doesn't love chocolate?

Huh. Weird. I'm pretty far from a coffee snob; I make myself a black coffee in the morning but it's usually an affordable decent medium roast like Gevalia or Equal Exchange. Starbucks has always seemed to over-roast most of their stuff for my tastes. Not my thing, but I get that many people like it. The Pike Place has always been fine, IME, but I only get it once or twice a year, really.
