First of all, before anyone gets excited, I get coffee from starbucks extremely rarely. A couple times a year tops.
That being said, I am not a supporter of starbucks.
Ok, now, my main point- For everyone in here just saying the coffee tastes like shit, Try to be more productive towards the conversation. The coffee tastes bad, is an obvious fallacy, as nearly 40 MILLION people drink their coffee. If the coffee tastes like shit, then don't order a oat milk vanilla pumpkin spice chai latte.
The conversation is around starbucks trying to bust up unions.
Saying- the coffee tastes like shit (when 40 million people drinks it), is not productive towards the conversation, and does nothing to assist with the conversation of starbucks being anti-human, anti-union, and treating their workers like slaves.
It's not the sugar that makes the coffee taste bad. It's that they over roast it. Their medium is basically a dark roast.
That said, yes the bigger issue is what they have become as a company and how badly they treat their employees.
