Starbucks is a great place to go if you don't have insanely high expectations for coffee. Don't get me wrong, it's far better than gas station coffee or even coffee from other fast food places. Yet it won't surpass whats offered at your local coffee shop. The company suffers from the same fate of other big chains. Sacrificing quality for quantity. Having worked there, it feels like they're torn between making those customer connections and pushing numbers. If anything, you should go for the amazing staff that opporate these stores. They are what make the true Starbucks experience, not the coffee.
