Now, I don&#8217;t mean to make you uncomfortable, but I think it&#8217;s high-time we had <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1283-if-you-cant-live-on-40000-per-year-its-your-own-fault.html\">a deeper, more serious, conversation<\/a> about the wildly popular coffee house chain.<\/p>\n<p>I want to start by pointing out that there&#8217;s a Starbucks in my neighborhood grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, where <em><strong>isn&#8217;t<\/strong><\/em> there a Starbucks?<\/p>\n<p>Take the town where I live: it has almost as many Starbucks (12) as the Lakers have NBA championships (17). Based on those numbers you&#8217;d think I come from a large city. But it&#8217;s a fairly small town of 70,000 residents or so &#8212; that&#8217;s one Starbucks for every 6000 people.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, we have only two McDonald&#8217;s. But I digress.<\/p>\n<p>Let me get to the real issue that always seems to be, well, brewing under the surface:<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally the Honeybee likes to get a venti Caramel Macchiato which, I&#8217;ve been told, is some kind of special caramel vanilla coffee drink. These abominations on the traditional cup of joe cost approximately $6.25 with tax, which is why I like to call Starbucks &#8220;Six-bucks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the Honeybee might have one of these <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id27944-10-things-that-todays-middle-class-can-no-longer-afford-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overpriced concoctions<\/a> a couple times a month, which is reasonable. But I know people who go to work with one of these 20-ounce Starbucks coffee concoctions &#8230; every. stinking. morning.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if they ever consider how much money they&#8217;re wasting at Starbucks &#8211; or <em><strong>any<\/strong><\/em> coffee house &#8211; on glorified java.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s assume they average two weeks of vacation, and another two weeks of sick time and holidays each year. That means they&#8217;re buying Starbucks brew 48 weeks a year, 5 days a week. That&#8217;s 240 trips to Starbucks at roughly $6.25 a pop, or $1500 annually for a measly cup of morning coffee! Remember, this doesn&#8217;t count the days they go to Starbucks when they aren&#8217;t working.<\/p>\n<p>Even worse, if you consider the 10 minutes most people spend on average waiting in line &#8211; or the drive-through &#8211; for the baristas to make their drink, then that equates to an entire 40-hour work week each year. So they&#8217;re not only wasting money, they&#8217;re wasting time too. And lots of it.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, can anybody tell me why queuing up to spend $6.25 for a cup of flavored foo foo coffee at Starbucks is better than <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id11369-100-words-on-why-folgers-coffee-is-more-expensive-than-you-think-2.html\">making your own Folgers<\/a> at home? Or grabbing a cup from the office coffee maker? Or walking into your local Quickie Mart and taking a minute to pay a buck and change for the Maxwell House blend they&#8217;re serving up?<\/p>\n<p>It seems to me that Starbucks is a waste.<\/p>\n<p>I mean come on, folks. Is going to Starbucks &#8212; or any other fancy-pancy coffee house for that matter &#8212; really worth 40 hours of your life each year and the annual $900 premium?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just askin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: MyLifeStory<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a common refrain: buying coffee at Starbucks is a waste of money.
