I was a daily Starbucks customer, a triple-shot latte per day. Wasn’t cheap but I was ok with that part. What I didn’t like was the prices kept going up while the quality of service declined. They kept messing up my order (and I am not talking petty screwups that only a Karen would complain about, I am talking stuff like asking for no foam and the cup I get is half foam or asking for extra hot only to receive lukewarm). I got tired of politely asking for my drink to be corrected only to be treated to eye rolls, huffs and other attitude from their constantly changing employees. I started to think it was ridiculous to pay $7.50 daily for a drink I was no longer enjoying and frequently felt bad complaining about. So I broke the habit and frankly I don’t really miss it

I would get the exact same drink almost daily with a grilled cheese. Then they reduced the points earned and i had the same issues. They shrunk the grilled cheese to like 50% of the size… i just make my own food now, all orgaic and cheaper! And more fun!

actually it was fine when it was 3$ when I came to the US in 2010, I even tolerated 5$ incl. tax for a small/tall, but now that it is hitting 6$ for a tall white mocha with tax and 7$ or more for larger sizes, I cannot buy it anymore. No way a beverage should cost as much as a sandwich. Oh wait, they will sell you an overpriced sandwich too for a total of 15-20$ per person!

K cups have some of the worst coffee anywhere. Their business model is to pay a licensing fee to whomever, pick any name . The coffee you’re getting isn’t sourced from those big names . It’s whatever they decide to use when they process the batch.

Here's the problem... it's expensive coffee that is rising in cost AND taking longer to serve in store. Too much focus on the app and not on in store . When you take 100s of app customers and ignore in store waiting customers, We are leaving to Tim Hortons And yes, pricing IS A PROBLEM

I dread going to starbucks in NYC because 1. Most employees don't seem to want to work there. 2. There is no working bathroom in most location. 3. Interior is not clean or comfortable, with exception of a few Reserve flagship locations. Get rid of the tipping. Pay people better so that you can attract higher quality talent. You can actually get more done with smaller staff, because most locations are overstaffed yet the service is slow.

I think (coffee) drink selection is wayyy less than it’s been historically, all I see are adverts for what look like sugary pink drinks, and if I want just a great tasting latte I have one sugar-free flavor to choose from and what seems like 3 sugar options. Having a customized, always interesting coffee option used to be a standard at Starbucks and it just feels like they’ve gone after a specific demographic that just clearly isn’t showing up for them. Get back to coffee, make it tasty and good, give me options that make me feel empowered as a consumer. And yes, hire more people, clean the stores up, and provide a better “coffee shop” experience, because on that front there are just countless better options in a city like NYC.

Anytime I go into a Starbucks there is a line. I am greeted by a barista and when I pay there is a tip amount suggestion on the screen. I opt for Zero. Then, when I wait to get my drink, there is no one to call out my name, This specifically occurred at the overpriced Fashion Island, Newport Beach location. Oh, by the way, a simple "Thank You" would be appreciated. What this company does not understand is that I am choosing to spend my money there. Good thing was that visit was only occasional. But, the same thing happens at the Starbucks Adelanto, Ca location and the San Juan Capistrano location. I'll stop in just to use their bathrooms. To the Starbucks mucky-mucks: lower your prices, improve the service and you might be able to have your customers back. Customers don't want new and exciting things amid this horrible inflation!

Stop blaming Israel ruthless attack on Gaza the reason for Starbucks’s decline. Other than many issues, Starbucks has a cleaning issues. I have been to many locations recently, they are dirty, gave me a ghetto feeling beside they charge premium. In a recent visit I felt even unsafe at one of the location. The only thing they want at payment is a TIP.
