I love Starbucks

Post Reply New Topic

And it's not because of their overpriced and overcaffeinated coffee.

I'm in a Starbucks right now working remotely. Also in here are eight other people -- like me with their laptops open not engaging in conversation, just focusing on their tasks.

The nine of us are in a place where we're not expected to engage in any sort of small talk or be sociable -- we're all in our own head space being focused and productive in our own way, without worrying in any way about how we're perceived. Basically, an aspie's dream come true.

I think I'll be working here a lot more often.

I'm glad you found somewhere nice for yourself

Hi:
Coffee shops are nice places in general and you don’t need to get coffee to enjoy yourself. In fact, I often get tea or hot chocolate. I also like to chill out and listen to the music .

I love working in Starbucks and similar locations too. But I often get kicked out or otherwise bothered for being an 'unaccompanied minor' or being without my parents. They never believe me when I say I'm 19.

The coffee is overpriced though. And it enrages me that they make soy milk more expensive - it's usually cheaper than cows' milk, they just mark it up. Not all of us want it because we're dumb hipsters. I didn't choose to have an idiot immune system, dammnit!

I really like the calm, soothing atmosphere of some Starbucks and coffee shops, but I usually make lattes at home. They are cheaper and usually better.

I’ve never found Starbucks to be soothing. It’s always crowded, and there’s long lines. Maybe it’s an urban thing?

I used drive thru but had an arguement over their very slooooooow and shoddy service so feel I cant go back until that person leaves.

Have had to go to Costa. It is just not the same! So, I have been sending family members in for me now and again.

Pathetic really!

I love cafes, too. I can sit there for hours browsing the Internet or reading horror stories over a glass of iced latte.

I don't enjoy cafes anymore, unfortunately, unless they're some of the more "old school" kind that actually have comfortable seating, softer background music, and dimmer lighting.

I used to love cafes: number one neuro-friendly place to hang out. Now I can't even be in my local Peet's anymore without getting a migraine if I stay too long.
