Before the sun rises it was nice to throw on a sweatshirt, have the dog jump in the back seat and roll to Starbucks.
I think that was 90% of morning coffee enjoyment. Coffee just a bonus.
After my sister was let go from Ampex because they saw no future with personal and home video recording thus sold their Beta Max and VHS tech to Panasonic, then a few years later sister was let go from Xerox because they saw no future with personal computers and sold the tech to Sun Micro Systems,, she invested in this little Coffee shop in Seattle that went international.
She earned enough to retire on and I was getting Starbucks gift cards.
Sister has the Alzheimer now so no more cards.
Nurse wife gets them from grateful patients as a thank you. Wife doesn't like coffee so I get the cards.
The one time $1.25 coffee and $1.25 Pumpkin loaf is now $10.10 here so that on a daily basis is unaffordable.
One Barista told me their are families that spend over $1.400 a month at that location. That was before the recent severe price hikes.
