Excuse me for my bluntness, but I have to ask: If you live in New York City and you are a Starbucks regular, what is wrong with you?? Are you having trouble finding a bathroom? Do their cake pops have you in a chokehold? I’m telling you, there are PLENTY of other coffee shops with superior beans and olive oil cakes. Plus, those stores don’t sue their workers when they disagree with them. There’s no reason for you to have to get your overpriced cup of caffeine from one of the roughly 350 Starbucks locations in this godforsaken city!
