+ Pensant Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 First off, I hate their coffee and their whole corporate culture.

It’s owned by a gay couple and the one who runs it is so damn cute that I go there just to chat with him. He also says that tips are optional since he pays his employees a living wage. F*ck Starbucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
