I got an espresso machine a few years ago and learned to make a proper latte with it. At this point, a $9 cup of charry sugar water made by a teenager in a fast food restaurant doesn’t really appeal to me.
Anti union piece of shit
Also interview only included CEO, no labor representation
My coffee experience is fine thank you. Every morning I boil the kettle, hand crank the grinder while it’s heating. Combine in the French press, wait a minute, stir, wait 4-5 more, press and pour into my mug.
It’s a great morning routine, less than 10 minutes, cheap and results in a great cup. I have no interest in the coffee flavored milkshakes they serve so why would I ever set foot in a coffee shop?
We should really stop paying attention to what CEOs and other parasites have to say. They only serve the shareholders.
I am so tired of seeing this guy’s smug face at the top of my feed…and it’s only been like a day.
I drink black coffee only and their black coffee tastes like shit. Always burned. No wonder why people fill it up with all kinds of sugars and creamers. That shit is fucking gross, and they charge like $3 for a small cup of it. Went a couple of times there because I had to and just never going back there.
So they think I want a 9$ premium experience with a Batista who the mselves could likely not afford that experience. Yuck.
a great moment with a barista.
Hahaha. Good one. Literally a great reason to buy independent.
It’s worse than that. Obviously he’s not talking about the coffee. He doesn’t even paint it as good-quality coffee. He’s saying people go for the experience of enjoying the coffee in a pleasant environment. He actually believes people go to Starbucks because they like being at Starbucks.
That used to be their whole shtick, the third place experience. They wanted people to treat Starbucks as where they go when they want to relax or meet with friends, a place outside of their home and work, where the baristas knew their names and would chat and make them feel welcome. Especially a lot of older folks liked that, and would make it part of their routine. Starbucks threw that all away when they went to prioritising drive thru and mobile order/pay systems. It’s a shareholder business and this is capitalism. It’s either neverending growth or death.
I don’t even think he’s wrong
Same logic for using drugs.
“I can’t afford anything actually nice but I do have 20 bucks.”
Honestly there is a lot more value in a 20 sack though.
IDGAF. Why are you buying Starbucks anyway, their coffee is just flavoured, caffeinated sugar water. I don’t see a big deal with $9 for a cup of piss. Rich people will pay even more if you tell them some lies about the water being shipped from the Himalayan mountains to make the coffee. Charge them whatever the fuck you want. Rich people ripping off rich people is a win win.
Are people really so addicted to Starbucks that this is a big deal? And there’s no better and cheaper coffee?
I mean, let’s be real, how much does a banana even cost Michael? Twelve dollars?
Thanks for making that a direct file to a video.
They need some way to pay for the year he commuted to Seattle by private jet.
Also, he is the asshole who said to keep raising the prices at Chipotle.
Fuck him. I will drink Folgers (and I do) before I’ll drink your shit.
yeah, it’s hardly worth the price, and honestly, I haven’t liked their roast since the 90s. nothing worth this bullshit.
I work an a facility next to a few fast food joints, a Japanese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, and a Chipotle. Pretty much the only restaurant we don’t order from is Chipotle.
… Chipotle is real restaurant prices for a fastfood experience.
What the fuck is premium about Starbucks?
It’s seen as a premium or at least different experience by some people here because you generally gotta sit on a boat for 16 hours to get to Starbucks (or now I think you can also get it on the boat to Stockholm or Helsinki, at some point you actually had to go to Stockholm). But also the people who see it as a premium experience normally just drink coffee at home, or from a crappy machine at work, or grab one from a gas station (which is already better than what most people make at home. I mean average people, not coffee fans. Coffee is just a tool for most). Not at a nice cafe here in Estonia. Anyone who does that probably doesn’t see Tarbrush as a premium place.
