Is Starbucks An Outdated Status Symbol?
Starbucks stores are ubiquitous in most cities, and, in my opinion, their coffee is both mediocre and overpriced. So why is everyone so obsessed with posting pictures of their #Starbucks drinks all over social media?

I want to start off by saying that, while I do think there are better coffee places out there, I’m not here to simply hate on Starbucks. I typically make my coffee at home, but if I’m out and about and in need of a caffeine fix, I’m happy to stop at Starbucks. I consider myself pretty neutral on the Starbucks front, but I do recognize that it’s a luxury purchase and I could easily make the same drink at home for half the price.
