I never really got why people called Starbucks "Starbeetus" on here but today I found out the hard way how it earned that name.
I'm waiting for my drink, a venti iced coffee - no cream, no syrup, no sugar. When all of a sudden, I hear some ruckus where you pick up your drinks.
It's two female hams. Guts almost hanging down to their knees, covered in cellulite, skin greasy with that weird sheen fats always have. One is doing that weird fat people arm cross pose and the loud one in the front is screeching at the barista making their drinks. They're pissed at the barista because they can't find the sugar packets and "ain't drinking that Splenda bullcrap".
They both ordered two caramel frappucinos (EACH) dripping in caramel sauce with extra extra whipped cream. Why the hell would they need more sugar? The barista is getting frustrated and just hands them like 30 sugar packets in the back so they can leave and stop taking up all the space in the shop. Before they left, I saw them dump like 10 sugars in their ALREADY VERY SWEET coffee-milkshakes. My stomach churned.
How is it legal to turn coffee into an abomination like that? Fats have to ruin everything.

It's not a terrible thing to add a bit of cream or sugar to coffee or tea. Sometimes some additions (lemon, ginger, cream, cinnamon, sugar, etc.) will bring out a different flavor in the coffee or tea, so it's a new, different way to experience it. But the abominations at Starbucks are just out of control. It's not about experiencing the taste of the coffee, it's about covering it up COMPLETELY with sugar slop. They're drinks only fit for hummingbirds, really.

I generally don't add sugar or dairy to my tea because I think the flavors clash, and milk tends to curdle. I sometimes squeeze lemon juice into my tea though. It's pretty good.
