This problem can also be avoided by just not buying their shitty coffee and food.

P.S. Fuck Starbucks!

I know too many people that think Starbucks is the only place that makes good coffee and refuse to go anywhere else. No, you like strong roasts, lots of sugar, and plenty of advertising, most of which you can get anywhere else if you just ask.

My local coffee scene is basically different versions of Dunkin Donuts, even the indie places have old coffee with chemical flavors. There is one place that serves a tasty espresso shot but it has inconsistent hours and is a 20 minute drive. Starbucks is closer and the app is super convenient.

We don't all live in big cities with lots of options and Starbucks fills the void.

This sounds reasonable to me. Starbucks is everywhere. But when you do have options they're far from the top choice.

You could have a look around to see if you have any local coffee roasters and then find out who they supply to try and get something a lot fresher.
