    It’s not what other people think. It’s what the Starbucks customer perceives what other people think.

    On the rare occasion that I buy retail coffee, it’s usually from the Race Trac gas station which has machines that grind the coffee beans and brew it fresh by the cup - nothing to erect a historical statue over, but a solid coffee for a low price.

    When Starbucks loving coworkers see me walk in with my ghetto gas station coffee cup, they’ll generally mock me for it.

    So I suppose you and I each have our own anecdotal data samples, and they apparently vary from each other quite a bit.
