Prep yourselves for another piece about Starbucks friends, because here it comes.

 

 

What more could I possibly have to say about Starbucks? Lots apparently. Side note- I’m sitting in Starbucks while I write this, but not my location, a new one, we’re switching things up a little today folks.

 

Anywho, I have recently come to the conclusion that I have a very love-hate relationship with Starbucks. I will now explain this relationship with a series of gifs.

 

LOVE: I feel like a true hipster princess everytime I walk up to the counter and the barista says “Goodmorning Rae!”

 

 

HATE: Why the fuck is a cold brew $5. I DO NOT HAVE $5 (but I buy it anyway).

 

 

LOVE: They support coffee farms all around the world which is cool.  

 

 

HATE: The lack of gluten free and vegan foods (excluding the singular gluten free breakfast sandwhich they already have.

 

 

LOVE: The constant colorful drinks, all the colors, so many colors.

 

 

HATE: The 2:00 rush. Starbucks has no control over this but I need someone to be salty at.

 

 

And finally…

 

LOVE: Starbucks is my home. That is all.
