Everyone who knows me knows that I got to Starbucks a lot, definitely more than I should. The obvious reason is the price of their beverages, but you know what? I thoroughly enjoy my Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino and haven’t been able to find anything that even remotely compares to that heavily caloried goodness. Whole Milk and Whip Please!

Anyways, on to the point of this post. I have a really big peeve and that’s the comments that a lot of people like to make about the people that always go to Starbucks and won’t go to McDonald’s for a coffee-like beverages even though it’s a helluva lot cheaper.

These people like to assume that everyone who goes to Starbucks either A) has a lot money B) is “above” the cheaper coffee and the people that get that C) are stuck up because they “have money”

Now, I am definitely not saying that everyone thinks this but I do hear comments like above a lot because a ton of people see me with Starbucks, see my tweets about Starbucks, and of course when I talk and the subject comes up, I talk about Starbucks. Above are frequent comments I’ve heard in response.

Another thing I am told a lot is that I “should get a vanilla frappe from McDonald’s” for like, a dollar. That’s fabulous but you know what? I don’t like them. Sure, I’d save money but I don’t like them. I prefer Starbucks. Does that make me “rich, stuckup, and too good for everyone else”, most definitely not. I also prefer 7-11‘s French Vanilla Cappuccino’s over Starbucks’, does that make me cheap? No.

Stop hatin against Starbucks and the people that prefer it! It’s not cool!
