Is being a Starbucks fanatic such a big deal that people make it out as?
Objectively speaking, the prices that is associated with the drink stands an international bench mark, it is equated to the dollar-value and thus to create a sense of uniformity, the drinks are priced the way they are, because of it.
But even beyond that, if you are a coffee lover and there aren’t any local shops that cater to such an extensive variety in coffee, sure I’d try that, but majority of shops/cafes have very restrictive and cliché orders, which doesn’t serve me any purpose because that not my drink of choice. The lack of tolerance or control or the displeased expression that people sport when you talk about Starbucks to anyone, is uncalled for, but sure everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Moving on, this isn’t a bitter post towards those who hate Starbucks. But, the when accounting to the fact that I could spend hours there, chatting or just watching a movie, probably working too, and no one would bother interrupting me, nor am I engaging with the hustle bustle of the boisterous town around me, then I don’t see a problem, I can just be an escapist sitting under gloomy, warmly lit walls with sweet heavenly scent of brewing coffee and baked goods, I don’t see why that isn’t a good thing, for me, and that’s important, it is what matters the most.
Lastly, it’s quite redundant to keep on dragging this futile discussion amongst people because it’s sometimes doesn’t need to be about the money, or anything else, it just has to be with what someone is comfortable with and what suits them the best, everyone needs to respect the other based on their discussion where the want to spend their money and time.
There’s nothing boujie or pretenscious about taking care of what you want. And don’t feel guilty about it nor feel obligated about answering to anyone.
