I've been to a Starbucks exactly once. One cup of liquid cost me as much as my lunch, it was a thin, vaguely coffee-smelling brown mass that tried really hard to mask the overextracted flavor with sugar, but all it could do was convince me to never set foot in that monument to capitalism.

Exactly my experience. The coffee shop literally next door has 500x better taste and quality for 1/8 of the price. Choice is simple.
