I can't think of any other eatery that conjures up equal amounts of love and hate as much as Starbucks coffee.
The lovers-they are intoxicated by its welcoming smell and will admit intimidation when the thought of "trying something new" crosses their mind, usually set in their ordering ways. They carry the iconic cup with pride that stems from the assumed power they have over others who are without.
The haters-they see the entire franchise as an evil force looking to penetrate our world with artificial people drinking artificial things. And they will stop at nothing to bad mouth the "overpriced lattes". They assume that everyone in there derives confidence from ordering a "tall decaf cappuccino" and hates them for it.
Paisely expressed her thoughts of the "evil" starbucks while next to me in Writing Fiction. As i listened i smiled and slowly turned away the ceramic travel coffee mug that sat in front of me, emblazoned with "Starbucks Coffee" on the side...I am a lover.
