Starbucks didn’t deserve to be in Korea. Korea has sooo many great cafes.
I’ve never purchased Starbucks and they tried and failed here since we already have better coffee than anywhere in USA (Australia), but if they ever try again, I’ll add another reason to avoid them.
starbucks has already come back to australia but not using their original aggressive expansion strategy.
The actual coffee from starbucks was never good coffee. But US likes their sweets so there will be stuff like :tripple caramel, cream, oat frappucino venti (the fuck do I know).
It’s just not coffee anymore.
It’s liquid candy with a little coffee in it
I found an article saying they burn the fuck outta their beans so you can still taste the coffee through all the sweet crap they dump in. I tried getting a black coffee there the one time I went bc that’s how I drink coffee in general and it was undrinkable swill.
They clearly saw the pushback against the Kendall Jenner ad for Pepsi and thought: “The reason it didn’t succeed is because there was no real conflict. We can change that.”
