You can also spike it to help you thru the morning. :)
a starbucks coffee a day... or a million in your retirement fund.
$5 a day, 365 days a year = $1825 per year contributed to your retirement.
assuming 8% return (just doing something safe like S&P or Nasdaq index fund). After doing this for 50 years you would have over 1 million saved for retirement.
That goes without saying, and that's after a little tomato juice and vodka of course.
Never understood the attraction of Starbucks.
Much of the problem is that each such company strives to incorporate the cutting edge crappola into every order. It is early in the morning. Complexity is not good. And, just because your orange-haired “IT tech” says THIS is new and is absolutely needed, you should not.
Back off on complexity. Simplify (your IT tech should be first). YOUR idea of convenience parallels no one else’s.
America runs on Dunkin.
I have rediscovered perked coffee. Vintage Pyrex glass percolator. Great local dark roasted coffees. Even dcream. A grinder. I grind a bag at a time and keep it in two vintage pint canning jars.
I have a pumpedfrother if I want froth. Usually just a touch of good cteam.
Best coffee. Wonderful in front of a cozy morning wood fire. Best aromas ever!
“”””If you buy a high end cappuchino/latte machine at home, you can have it paid for within 6 months by the money you save by not buying starbucks.””””
At the same time having an appliance that makes you look pretty sophisticated and cool to friends and dates, a thinking man can use an appliance like that to impress the ladies.
I think so. Surprising her with an evening latte gives the impression of competence and suave.
“In other words, customers using Mobile Order-Pay put items into their carts and sometimes chose not to complete the order, citing long wait times and product unavailability.”
I do that quite frequently. Have you noticed that many on-line apps require you to initiate an order to see their menu and their prices?
The problem is that some of these college educated dummies are either too lazy or too dumb to brew their coffee at home.
You know.
Getting a woman into your kitchen watching you perform your magic is a pretty sure sign of success for the evening.
Yes, and it infuriates me!.............
Can you imagine going to a grocery store with no prices on the items or the shelves?
You can’t find out how much your grocery bill is until you check out???????????..................
Then you can buy a latte at Starbucks with it..................
I have never bought anything at any Starbucks...............

Or having to go to the check out line to fine if an item is even in stock?
Yesterday, I was looking for a place that had chicken salad sanwiches. Go to the website. Enter your zip code. Select delivery or take out or in-store. Then you get to see the menu. No chicken salad. On to next store.
A Starbucks manager told me that the drive-thru was 70% of his business.
70%!
Have a drive-thru or die.
” ordering through the Starbucks app”
Geez, I know starfucks is an airhead fad, but they even use their iFag love toys to buy it?
Hope they do not wonder why they are mocked.
It would be a good time for talking and caressing, while you make the cappuchinos. I see your wisdom.
