I’ll try to keep this short and sweet.
My office manager would frequently provide Starbucks treats/coffee twice a month. She’d also parade around every day with a $10 sugar drink.
Back of the napkin math: $400 a month personally, and $500 a month from the company. Or $4800/yr and $6000/yr.
In my city, Starbucks has been closing rather than allow stores to unionize. Apparently, the latest closing was the last straw. Fed up, she finally purchased locally. And to her surprise, her drink “tastes better”.
Small win.
Local all the way! With corporate coffee, you at BEST get okay coffee and snacks. Local chains are generally at least okay coffee as they tend to bomb hard if their coffee is bad, but they’re also your only chance to find fantastic coffee and baked goods. Explore local, find the best coffee. It’s out there, waiting for you
