Few weeks ago, my friend and I decided to meet at Starbucks but I was a bit early so decided to order and wait for him. I’m not a coffee person but no big deal for me if we’re meeting in a coffee shop cause you know, Starbucks (like other shops) have non-coffee drinks. But i felt awkward when I asked the cashier for a hot choco - some people in that shop looked at me. No over reactions, but i feel like they were surprised with what i ordered.
I can’t imagine anyone at a starbucks high roading you about a hot chocolate order. Starbucks is the McDonald’s of coffee.
Starbucks’ drip coffee is consistent and convenient. We use that place as a bathroom and for black drip coffee or cold brew while out/traveling if there are no better options.
Order what you like and ignore the side glances.
