Starbucks doesn't count as a real coffee place. They're mostly selling deserts in drink cups these days.

Now instead of my wife getting a free liquid candy drink after me buying 12 cups of coffee, it will now take buying 63 cups. I only went to SB so my wife could get her sugar fix, so now it's a good time to switch to Wawa.

I have been know to make light of my wife spending whatever it costs for a coffee from Starbucks. She doesn't go there often but does like an occasional treat. But when I look back, I had NO problem at all paying 4-5bucks a glass for microbrew beer at my favorite stop on the way home....and I did it every day. So while starbucks may seem silly I look at it a lot differently than I used to.

Stabucks = standing in line for an overpriced coffee-type (yet admittingly tasty) beverage loaded with empty calories. But since the closest one to me is over an hour away, I guess I'm in no danger of developing a Starbucks habit.
