Expensive, mediocre coffee and snacks. Starbucks used to be fairly premium. Good pastries with a big selection, good coffee menu that was almost all coffee and not all sugary junk. There were couches, nice bar seats, books, magazines, newspapers… The coffee wasn’t a whole lot better, but it was better.

Now it’s cheap, light hard seats and a couple thin tables if you’re lucky. Some places only have bar style seats if even that much. They want you to get your coffee and leave. The menu is as more sugar laden confections than coffee. Good pastries are all gone, now it’s out of a plastic bag into the paper one you receive it in.

No wonder it’s failing.
