Don’t get me wrong, I like “fancy” food as much as the next mildly (okay moderately) chubby dad-type, but there’s a point when it stops being an attempt to create taste perfection, and simply becomes some sort of “because I can” (and because I’m better than everyone else) sort of thing.
There’s “craft”, and there’s “creative”, then there’s this…

What isn’t? I do not understand the appeal of overpaying for mediocre coffee from a corporation that slaughters local coffee shops and subjects you to horrible customer service and interminable waiting while trying to decide whether to look at the brain-dead posers on their laptops or the strip mall parking lot.

This. I don’t have prize comparison to the US … but over here I can sit in a nice cafe and get my coffee brought to my table in a stoneware mug by some friendly person for the same price as me standing around at a Starbucks waiting for someone to hand me a coffee-like substance in a paper-cup.
Starbucks is for people who want to drink coffee but don’t actually like how coffee tastes.

Unless you’re drinking their actual drip coffee or espresso, served to you at your table in a stoneware mug (yes, every Starbucks does this). Which is really quite decent and a sight better than what I was served everywhere when I was in the UK and Switzerland. Their coffee milkshakes are another story, of course.
That is not true.
Every freestanding, company-owned Starbucks in America is indeed supposed to offer stoneware mugs of coffee, yes, which they will serve to you at a table. Drive-ins, mall locations, airports, etc are a different case (and are rarely actually owned/run by Starbucks).
over here = not America
That’s nice. I’m not talking about Europe, I’m saying that Starbucks in America do in fact offer coffee in a stoneware mug. They may also do so in Europe, I have no experience there. Apologies if you misunderstood me.
