Starbucks is the defacto mascot of money wasting. People always talk about abstaining from starbucks when they talk about saving money. The frappuccino is often the specific product that is mentioned. How is it any surprise that it's popularity has waned? Star bucks stores feel more like McDonald's stores than anything else, there is almost no atmosphere to speak of which I would guess is rather important to the coffee snobs who buy fraps. What kind of world do we live in when McDonald's is expensive (everything besides the simple cheeseburger is a total insult to value) and when Starbucks is McDonald's?

Except when they come and buy them :) For the money wasting culture.... The latest Starbuckses in China are mindblowing... Not only they have nearly $11 bucks drinks ( you can buy 4 full meals for that price in China ) the decorum looks like something out of ritz carlton if not more posh. They are thriving here.

- obelix_ 8y agoStarbucks stores when initially designed, where intended to fill the need for a "third space" outside of home and work. Not everyone wanted to hangout at a bar. And not every city and town had such spaces. Which is why Starbucks worked. People paid for that space not really for the coffee.
- Teeer 8y agoFunny you mention McDonalds, because that's where I buy my fraps now instead of Starbucks. They taste exactly the same but are significantly cheaper.
