Starbucks gave me a place to use the bathroom, free wifi, a judgement free place to mentally relax during 2010-2020.

Then they did a racist ass arrest, broke up unionizing, CEO tried to run for fucking president.

Stopped going there years ago and been watching it all burn.

Same. I've always preferred local coffee places when possible. One of the local coffee places opened a little dual-lane coffee kiosk down the road with a small limited menu and they have amazing coffee.

For consistency when travelling I'll try to go to Dutch Bros instead. I'm sure they're headed the same direction, but at the moment they're nowhere near the same level of evil as Starbucks.
