Thanks for that information. We keep both the canned chicken and the canned tuna on hand. Sometimes you just want to be served instead of making your own.

We put them in a cooler with bottles of water (or soda) and separate lettuce that we put on the sandwich when we eat them. We also bring a few carrots and celery or snap peas. It costs practically nothing, tastes great and it’s safer.”

We used to pack our lunches for our road trips too. Only we would take summer sausages and cheese, those just cracker sized. One would drive and one would make small sandwiches.

I see some people buying multiple ready to eat meals. They much cheaper and have less salt than the drive-thru places.”

Publix has some great ready to cook meals that we like.

Does the mobile app actually tell you how long it will take to get the order before the order is placed? Or do the people actually get to Starbucks, see there is a long line, and decide to not place the order?

Now if you’re wanting a pastry with your coffee and the app says they don’t have any, then yes I can see customers not completing the order.

For my birthday, my daughter got me a coffee hot plate. I work from home & I love it. Hate warm or cold coffee.

Thinking some people are so stupid they can’t figure out how to make coffee at home.

People are tired of overpriced coffee with weird names and variations, and that they force customers to actually speak a in special coded Starbucks language to make a simple order. Also their coffee tastes a little earthy… like dirt.
