Low effort content, man. What you think this is a game?!

Start your journey to un-sucking by buying some real coffee instead of that overpriced swill for a change.

Just think ... $8-$12 a day is $300 a month. That’s a car payment. Of course people who are fleecing you know your name .... you’re paying to be liked so you’ll come back and give them more money.

They’re laughing all the way to the bank.

I doubt someone who works at Starbucks is thinking about “fleecing” me. Their upline managers might be.

Quibble over terminology all you want, but the bottom line is they are paid to be nice to you. You are in turn paying for them to be nice to you. As long as you realize that you’re purchasing an “experience" designed to keep you coming back, and not “just coffee”, then keep drinking it and getting your ego stroked.
