I hate them because I went on a trip to New Orleans to rebuild homes with a group of people and I swear we stopped at every starbucks between Memphis and New Orleans. So then we had to also make bathroom breaks about once an hour.
There were about 15 people in the group, and all but three of us got one at every stop. Plus they would stop on the way to the construction sight, take breaks to go get more for everyone, and stop on our way back to where we were staying.
So lets say 12 people, getting starbucks 4 times on the way to New Orleans and 4 time on the way back to Memphis = 96 cups of Starbucks drinks
PLUS at least 3 trips for six days while working = 216 cups of coffee
So 312 cups of starbucks in one week.
Each drink probably cost about $4.
That's over $1,200 spent on coffee while we are rebuilding homes for people who have lost everything. Why not just bring a coffee maker? What else could that $1,200 been spent on to help people?
We were very late to the place we were volunteering three times because of their coffee runs.
