I get plain black coffee in Starbucks everytime I go in with no problem. Granted that isn't very often because I just don't see the value.

Alright, dude. Obviously, everyone here knows you are a douche from you throwing a hissy fit over this thread. And you need to read>comprehend>post, because I just stated that I liked to enjoy it, not drink it like a five hour energy.

isn't it less than 2 bux? Or do you mean the value of making it at home?

I can buy a refill at the coffee shop for $0.75. That adds up over a year. Plus, I always end up buying a scone or something when I go to Starbucks.

That's the key- I can buy a bag of coffee beans for damn near the price of a latte at Starbuck's these days. I drink coffee at home and every once in awhile, when I want something sweeter and richer, I'll waltz into a coffee shop and order up a latte or macchiato or whatever suits my pretentious trailer-park ass.

Honestly, I was one of those dudes that ordered a latte on my way into the office every morning. When I realized I was spending $75/month on Starbuck's, I decided to return to store-bought coffee beans and make my own coffee.

Forgive me for not having the pomposity to waste my money on over-priced caffeine drinks these days. :rolleyes:

Yep, I've been making making my first 16 oz cup of coffee of the day at home and saving even the first $0.75. The lady who makes the coffee at work insists on making decaf so I have to go to the coffee shop once per day to get my fix. If I have more than 32 oz, decaf is fine.

Seems to me that Pawnmower is trying too hard now that he's learned about the n00b of the year thing.

Not questioning the truth of your story, but I worked in a Starbucks for over a year and this is an extremely isolated incident. Drip coffee is by far the most popular order at starbucks. More often we would have someone come in and be pissed at the number of options. "I just want a coffee" with and implied "douchbag" at the end.

Not only was it the most popular order, it was my favorite order cause it took about 6 seconds to fill and on to the next customer.
