I don't understand why people like Starbucks so much. Their coffee is nasty and so is their food. But people are addicted to it. All my relatives have the app and spend like $50+ a week there.
Only reason I ever go is because I'm roadtripping at 6am and it's the only place open that early. The indie coffee shops don't open until 8am.
For the same reason there are McDonalds everywhere. They are familiar and convenient despite almost always being inferior.
