    Only people I know who drink Starbucks are already maga and won’t care. Most people I know just drink (gag) Dunkin. Theres no reasoning, it’s New England.

      Do Americans no longer have independent coffee shops and restaurants?? Is it all chains down there now?

        Most do - even small towns do.

        Starbucks is convenient and that’s what they do.

        Small stores don’t usually have an app, have too few workers so it takes 5-15min to make the coffee or worse after whatever line.

        If they ever figure out they can buy a whole ass bag of coffee and a dripper for the cost of 3-5 Starbucks and drink for a month… They’d still go to Starbucks.

        Where I am we had one for about 6 months. There are a couple of shops, yes, but they are a drive. Dunkin has a store every mile.

        There is but they’re considered more of a sit down place. Big chains are successful because they have drivethru at convenient (expensive) locations.
