Well, I know where I live Starbucks was the first real coffee place. The only other places you could get a quick coffee was at a gas station. When I first discovered Starbucks, I would go there nearly everytime I passed it :D

But, now they've built a privately owned coffee place just outside my neighborhood, and their coffees are just as tasty (and $2 cheaper for a small, woo!), so I go there now.

I dropped a $5 on my grande peppermint white mocha this morning...so I hear ya. But they can flop out a mean coffee!!

The SAME thing that got Coca Cola started, a stimulant, in their case it was Cocain, in your case, caffeine.

I like the vanilla bean frap, no caffeine and its tastes just like a shake. I think they put like cocaine in those drinks so you keep craving them more and more lol

Ha yep one cuppa joe costs about as much as a house nowadays at starbucks... lol I call it "starf**ks"

I am not a coffee person at all, so i would like to know that answer to this question as well

its trendy and everyone wants to be seen doing the same thing as the "jones's". Try a local coffee shop. the coffee is usually better and you support your local business's.

Awful! I went to Starbucks a month ago. I ordered a hot chocolate, simple enough. I tasted it , and it was terrible. I don't understand why you would pay 10 dollars for a cup of coffee from there. It's ridiculous. I never went back. Maybe we're so crazy for it because the media depicts it as a hot spot for celebrities? Or just the classy rich look pleases us?

Just the fact that you can grab a coffee drink to go, and be creative with what you choose. The price is so high because they know people will pay it, and they continue to go up every year. Starbucks is a huge rip-off, and if you bought the right materials you could make those drinks for pennies on the dollar. Don't be sucked into the corporate money hole, making the rich richer, and the poor poorer....Avoid starbucks.

It's good, but not as good as the coffee they serve at the Penn State Altoona campus coffee shops (Coasters and Common Grounds). But nothing's better to me than Taster's Choice.

I dont do coffee personally but Starbucks is just a trendy place where surburbian folks meet and act important.

The name.

Just like with clothing brand name (Abercrombie, Hollister, Coach, Louis Vuitton, etc.)

We see it. We want it.

I do not get the whole concept..

but that's society for you.

they do caffeine right!

The brand was built from quality coffee. They started out as a small shop in Seattle. Now they're everywhere around the world. That is how good they are. Just quality.

Hey, its not Starbucks' fault, if everyone bought from your coffee store, you'd run up the prices as well, so unless you can get your whole neighborhood to boycott the place, your stuck with the prices, but really, if your having trouble with buying from their, limit yourself to one a day, and drink it really slow. After about a week, go to every other day, and so on. U MIGHT break your addiction. Get itself a coffee maker, and make more of Ur own. If all this fails, find a friend who works at Starbucks, and persuade her to give u her weekly bag of coffee.

EXCELLENT MARKETING OF A QUALITY PRODUCT AND ATMOSPHERE!

don't know, but it's the best coffee round!!!
