There's a Starbucks on every corner and I don't understand the allure at all. I just don't get it. I enjoy coffee, but have you ever gone into a Starbucks and asked for coffee? They look at you like you just asked for an oil change. Starbucks doesn't sell coffee. They have blends like Joya del Dia, Arabian Mocha Sanani and Ubora.
I like to walk into a coffee shop and ask for an extra large double-double. I don't know how to do that at Starbucks. I don't know how to do that at Second Cup, either, which may explain why I spend most of my coffee drinking moments at Tim Hortons.
At Tim Hortons, they know exactly what I want when I ask for an extra large double-double. They know I want coffee.
Ya Booner, I totally agree with you on this one. Only in desperate times do I go to a Starbucks or Second Cup. But the thing I don't understand is I have to put the cream and sugar in by myself and make sure I get it right. So why is there a tip jar at these locations and hardly any at Tim Horton's? Don't they provide the better service? I just want a coffee....something to wake me up in the morning and kick start my day.
