5 truths about Starbucks.
- Starbucks pay minimum wages and their “baristas” go through very little if any barista training.
- They tamp way too hard. Ask for a double espresso and you’ll realize how sour and bitter it is. (This is why people put so much crap in their coffee at Starbucks, they need to cover the taste. E.g a “Venti Iced Mocha skim, extra chocolate”)
- They don’t know the difference between a Latte and a Cappuccino.
- They are a franchise who only care about making money. Starbucks lost their alleigence to the industry years ago. Nowadays it’s all about putting in more Vietnamese Robusta to increase profits.
- They don’t know what they’re selling. One time I ordered a double Espresso and when the manager brought it to me he said “here’s your double EXPRESSO”.
I’ve decided to write this after having the worst double espresso in my life! Who would have thought that it would come from Starbucks? Next time you want some coffee and you’re out, DON’T go to Starbucks.
