Starbucks is a pretty bad place. The thing is that I totally can imagine to pay 4 Euros for coffee, but .... I mean it has to be good coffee and not water from washing the coffee machine, I want to have a porcelain cup, comfy seat, nice table, unlimited WiFi, cookie without to buy it extra and a relaxed atmosphere to my coffee. Starbucks fails at all this except WiFi.
