The Starbucks Snob Strikes Again

Seems you can’t turn a street corner these days without bumping into a Starbucks. Which is great, cause they make great products.

EXCEPT…

They’ve spawned a new, mega-pretentious breed of coffee posers, who’ve turned the Starbucks vernacular (“Grande Non-Fat, No-Foam Soy Latte with an extra shot please!) into a badge of honor that they like to wear proudly to show everyone how “hip” they are.

The reality, though, is that most of them sound like complete tools.

The problem, in a nutshell, is that in the coffee world, the Starbucks cup has become the Coach bag: Everyone wants to be seen carrying one, even though its street cred is diminished by the cheaper knock-offs that taste just as good.

Bottom Line: If the only language your girl can speak is “Starbucks,” you may have an uptight diva on your hands…just sayin’.
