Market analysts suggest that now Starbucks has surpassed McDonald's in the way of offering an option to them for fast food convenience that doesn't have the same negative associations...
This is hilarious. I have friends who work in Starbucks and their food offerings are all freeze-dried, processed, and loaded with preservatives. Not that McDonalds and the other fast food chains are serving healthy food, but at least it's cooked at the time and prepared to order.
Not to mention that Starbucks used to actually make their cappuccinos. Now they just press a button on a machine and some brown stuff dribbles out into a cup.
Best solution: go to a locally owned restaurant or cafe.
