    Yeah, support a local sandwich shop.

    Probably won’t be much cheaper but it’ll be ten times the quality.

      Coffee will be better as well. Starbucks burns their beans so they can guarantee the same “quality” flavor at every location.

        This I can actually weight in on a bit. They have their recipe under full version control and plant operations can only adjust it slightly without HQ doing an override. Not their air waste handling however, that is under local control.

      My family ran a local sandwich shop for years. Here’s the problem.

      If this is downtown, the local sandwich shop isn’t even there, in part because Starbucks helped price them out of being able to rent. Every supermarket now has a sandwich counter too, so local sandwich shops don’t do well in shopping centers either. Fast food has slightly improved their quality over the years so that’s more competitor at the low end.

      You’re paying for the convenience at Starbucks and in some cases convenience is valuable. If you don’t care about time and can go out of your way to a local sandwich shop, you get better food for less.

        Luckily the downtown in the city where I live doesn’t allow chain restaurants so I have many options for decently priced food.
