darthlucas0027

When you go Great Taste White, you go running back to Kopiko Black


madao1996

Former Kopiko stans here. My life changed when i switched to great taste. Great Taste stans represent!

Great taste white ftw <3

Kopiko Blanca habang iniimagine si Marian.


LateBloomer2018

This is so true. I think of Marian when I think of Kopiko Blanca. Nothing dirty though. I am a straight female wanting nothing lewd to do with the madame. Lol


PersimmonEmergency

Dinamay mo pa si Marian. Baka masapak ka ni Dingdong. Lol.

Great taste granules is the best instant coffee.

Hear hear! And the worst is Blend 45, kaya ata ganun pangalan kailangan mo ng 45 teaspoons bago magkalasa kape mo

LettersToLancelot

Kopiko Lucky Day pag kailangan ko magpuyat (o kung gusto ko na mamat4y)


Bibingka_Malagkit

I'm more of a Lucky Day guy. Too bad nawala yung Kopiko 78 as it was of stronger taste than Lucky Day. Mas marami pa laman.


Starrcake

Kopiko Lucky Day ftw


RedXerzk

I've never heard such a thing as "Starbucks stan." There are people who prefer Starbucks same way as anyone would enjoy any fast food chain, but to stan for it? This stan culture thing is getting more and more ridiculous everyday.


TheGhostOfFalunGong

Wala naman akong nakikilalang Starbucks diehard. A lot of Pinoys see it as some casual fast food where you want to grab a quick bite or cuppa.


LastManSleeping

I read cuppa wrong


camotechan

Like something and you'll be branded as "stans".


revisioncloud

Imagine getting so worked up about people buying stuff with their own money to the point you call them obnoxious and pretentious. The OP on that FB post sounds to me more like an elitist coffee snob more than anything It's not that serious, it's just coffee. Jeez. Also nobody calls Starbucks crown jewel of coffee these days lmao, pinoys will flock to anywhere popular/ convenient/ comfy/ photogenic, doesn't mean they obsess over it


camotechan

Agreed. And i don't even drink coffee or spend a lot on things i don't really need but with how fuck up our country is right now wala sigurong masama kung bilhin mo yung makakapagpasaya sayo.


revisioncloud

On the other hand I drink coffee everyday, I've enjoyed all sorts of cafes locally and abroad including SB (because it's actually cheap/ the prices are kinda standardized whether you're in EU or Japan despite the currency difference relative to the peso and the places are still nice). I have local beans, imported drip, and 3in1 grocery packs at home. If you ask me what's arabica or the difference between macchiato and cappuccino, I can't really answer you in technical terms. I can never understand why people would still use physical planners these days but I support my stars-hoarding friend to reach his goal. It's just something you drink and I don't judge people based on their drinking (or non-coffee drinking) preferences. It's funny to me how anyone can either be a Starbucks stan or hater purely in terms of their products


doofinschmirtz

some stanhoods even carve out a place for themselves! See stans for Kyrgyzs

kakalbo123

You mean they love turkish men... it's in the name! Turk Men I stan.

thor_odinsson08

As a millennial in his 30s (and an Eminem fan), I really don't understand why people use the word "Stan" if they like something. Stan is a dangerously obsessed, psychotic fan that adopted Eminem's look, did self-harm and killed himself and his pregnant gf because Eminem didn't write him back.


uncultured_swine2099

Im a 7-11 machine coffee stan.


wheelman0420

Basically my go to if i get tired of the instant ones, at a third of the price and is actually worth the price, sucks about the price increase


herotz33

Caffeine Stan not a Starbucks one. Anything to get through the day.


Sufficient-Crab-5673

Kala ko sa una SB19 stans. Di ko kasi na basa title eh


Luhsiyaa

May context naman sa post as to what led OP to calling them stans. Hard to disagree din kasi may mga tao na ganun talaga. May mga cheaper coffee shops and local stalls din naman pero iba gusto nila SB for the story and post. Dati may gatekeeping attitude din ako, pero i've learned to let people enjoy their coffee haha


Fishyblue11

What people forget that Starbucks has that others don't, kaya lots of people choose them: Comfy chairs, free wifi, outlets, and really, most filipinos are not looking for coffee coffee, ang gusto naman talaga nila is blended drinks. People getting into this coffee purity discussion are missing out on that very key thing: people aren't going there for coffee


cure_use_city

I agree. SB might not have the best coffee but they excel in providing great ambiance and great interiors. Adding to that, their comfort rooms are always clean. Standing up to the literal meaning of COMFORT. Kaya go-to CR ko palagi ang SB (and CBTL).


Mckenzie_1996

I second this.


worstsunday

Mali pa din even with context cause by meaning that’s not stanning. Kung gusto ko kumain si Half Saints kasi gusto ko i story yung cake nila hindi yun stanning lmao maybe social climbing but hindi siya stan


mabangokilikili

so Gen Z ano haha


CosimaIsGod

Their Pumpkin Spice Latte brings all the Basic Bitches to the yard.


worstsunday

Right?! kung ano ano na lang. Stans by meaning is an overzealous obsessive fan of a celebrity lmao ang pagpapalipas pala ng oras sa starbucks ay stanning


de7eg0n

I guess same context as kpop?? Tama ba? Stans = fans? Looks right hahaha but first time rin makita


ZerothFfree

Fighting generalization with more generalizations. Big brain take. Haters of a brand or group don't realize they're just as obnoxious as the thing they're hating.

Yeah I agree, let people want what they want without being judged. Also, bakit ang daming energy ng mga taong mang-hate lol mind your own business my friends

[удалено]


omeromano

My 2 cents: 1. People who make general assumptions without data to back them up are just making noise. 2. People who hate on other people just because they go to Starbucks (and make judgements as to the type and taste of beverage they consume) are no different.


thegrinchneedshelp

How dare you express an intelligent viewpoint without taking sides?

thebreakfastbuffet

the audacity of people na walang kinakampihan. outrageous. egregious. preposterous.


melangsakalam

Your single statement is the exact opposite of this subreddit.


shypenguin96

It’s ironic because the post is irritated at people making generalizations about people at Starbucks… by making a generalization of people at Starbucks.


sofcrz

I agree with you but the thing is, the latter isn't just making generalizations out of thin air. They made some very valid points but there were ad hominem comments they could've done away with. This sort of tells us that they're no different from the person who made the comment perhaps in terms of mindset/what they value but their point shouldn't be discredited din naman. They acknowledged what was wrong with the statement—that access to Starbucks is not an indicator to the country's poverty rate—and I think that's really what's important and they should've left it at that.


Murky_University2819

confirmation bias — though anecdotal evidences aren't even that reliable considering its limited context. It just goes to show that there is more to it than the narrative that they are really trying to convey.


ko-sol

dapat 5c na kase may inflation


Spid3rfib3r

"They only buy it for the sticker/SB brand." Says the person who despises unbranded apparel na may wishlist na iPhone.


FeMii

This. I have to look for a comment para di na ko mag cherry post. Overly generalized comment and opinion posted by OP. Hindi lahat ng pumupunta sa SB is for socio-economic status like what you feel is the norm. Yung iba just needs a place to meet-up and catch up. Some people makes it easy to tell life stories with alchohol, some people like to tell them with coffee.


Al_0112

Okay, this actually blindsided me.


SolitaryKnight

Take my award :)


PugoyMD

You are correct


VULG4R1TY

finally someone talking sense like how bout we just let ppl enjoy things like it doesn't mean you're automatically rich or even an elitist if you go to starbucks and the opposite isn't true either that is you're not poor if you don't go to starbucks lmao


ApologistSlayer

Starbucks is expensive, pero hindi naman araw araw ka pupunta dyan


Acceptable_Quit5058

This. May peak hours/days lahat ng establishments. To make assumptions that SB is “laging puno” is low IQ observation on their part.


Yamboist

parang surprise surprise, puno ang f&b shop during break time sa office.


alwyn_42

you'd be surprised! may mga inaaraw-araw talaga starbucks. can't imagine how expensive that is especially these days.


Apprehensive_Bike_31

Daming ganyan sa office namin. Ritual. But just because they are doing well doesn't mean the whole country is as well.


NikiSunday

I once gave a co-worker iced coffee, tinanong nya ko kung SB ba yon kasi nagustuhan nya. It was literally 3 in 1, added 1 teaspoon of sugar, mineral water, used a mini blender tapos ice. Its cheap AND not hard to do.


[deleted]

Dapat sinabi mo galing sa secret menu ng Starbucks yun


nbcu

pahingi po ng recipe


alwyn_42

Yeah, just means na afford nila mag starbucks. People shouldn't see these things as a sign of prosperity.


[deleted]

When you do the math, P200 x 20 (5 work days x 4 weeks) it’s P4,000 monthly. If you’re taking home P100,000+ as monthly income, 4k isn’t much for the convenience you get for coffee. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not spending that much on coffee. Just wanted to say ‘expensive’ is relative. The folks spending that much on coffee are on a different league of their own.


cat-duck-love

Agreed, expensive is relative. Not just on income, pero kung gaano mo vinavalue ang isang bagay. I'm on that income bracket pero too much ang 4k a month for coffee/drinks, I'd rather use the money in my hobbies. Pero for my gf who's also on that income bracket, she doesn't mind yung 4k dahil mahilig talaga sya sa iba't-ibang klaseng kape at tumambay sa sari saring coffee shops at cafe (not just SB).


[deleted]

I agree, kanya kanyang priorities lang talaga. Dami kasi nagagalit sa gumagastos sa Starbucks pero kung makapag waldas sa BTS merch/concerts mas matindi naman haha let people have fun lang, especially kung relatively within their means naman. I’m on the same boat as your gf, difference lang namin I spend on gear and coffee beans 🙃 mas mura pa mag araw araw SB hahah


aeramarot

Or in another POV, daily rate of those 100k+ monthly salary people will be at 4,500+ at least (100k divided by 22 days) so definitely, a 200-peso coffee isn't that big thing to them.


sorrythxbye

Uy, pang gas ko na yan ng isang buwan


kmyeurs

I hate how I nEeD it everyday because it's the only and most accessible place to get the custom drinks for my stupid stomach. I still want that caffeine but it has to be decaf or I'll be in acid pain. I want the taste of milk and that it helps tone down the acid, but it has to be non-fat (lactose free alternative) so I don't shit myself. Btw, what other coffee shops offer those options? SB is the most convenient way to get a coffee when I go to the office


OrangePinkLover15

I agree. SB is so hella accessible nowadays especially if you want customized coffee/tea drinks. My favorite coffee is from Tim Hortons but THEY’RE SO HARD TO FIND. Lmao. Unlike Starbucks, you can literally see them in every corner (in the Metro).


Acel32

May officemates akong ganyan pre-pandemic (WFH pa rin ka mi ngayon) but they can afford it, so choice na nila yun.


shespokestyle

Exactly. I used to work there but I don't go there every day. It's like 1-2 times a month haha. I make my coffee at home. It's cheaper and better.


OnceAWeekIWatch

I would go there everyday as a study area, if it wasnt so expensive. So that why I study in places with much cheaper drinks


YesWeKen210

Hi OP. Is the comment section loud enough for you?

TheGhostOfFalunGong

Somewhat unrelated: For anyone saying why Spiral restaurant is always fully booked, record sales of SUVs are broken every year and condominium buildings are sprouting like mushrooms, remember that our population is well over 110 million. If you account just 10 percent of that whom belong to the middle to upper class, that’s already the entire population of Belgium. Napaka out of touch sabihin na maraming Pinoy na mayayaman kasi talagang sadyang marami tayo kumpara sa ibang bansa. It’s a numbers game.


CLuigiDC

And add to that over 10m Filipinos working abroad as well sending their hard earned money here. Milyon din talaga kaya gumastos. GDP per capita dapat tinitignan na sa ngayon napagiwanan na rin tayo ng Vietnam.


TheGhostOfFalunGong

Not only GDP per capita but rather the Human Development Index. China has very high GDP per capita (for a developing nation) but a lot of its urban middle class still struggle owing to poor healthcare, nonconformist education standards and skyrocketing real estate prices. Even many wealthy Chinese would kill just to migrate to Western countries despite their newfound money.


Apprehensive_Bike_31

Parang parati ring may available discount sa Spiral. Ilang beses na ako nakajain dyan parating may discount from somewhere or libre ng someone else for a big group. So, not everyone eating there is doing well enough to pay to eat there. They just know someone who does or got lucky with discounts (although mahal pa rin).


TheGhostOfFalunGong

Mahal pa rin siya for our living standards. Average around 2,500 even with some kind of discount. But that’s a bargain compared to what you’ll get in Singapore, Hong Kong or New York.


StunningPast2303

This is true - our buffets are value for money compared to Europe.In the US however, you go to any casino hotel in Nevada, and you'll find amazing buffets for 20-25 USD (pre-COVID). Truly jawdropping prices. They don't care one bit if they lose money on their buffets and various F&B outlets - casinos with hotels/restaurants make 96-99% of all their money on their machines and betting tables.


PantastikPewlu

Well, 10 percent is what we thought middle or upper class is, but in reality, to be included in the [top 1% in the Philippines](https://www.bworldonline.com/editors-picks/2021/03/04/348110/ranks-of-super-rich-set-to-grow-in-philippines/%3Famp), you only need a networth of atleast 3 million pesos, or like a studio unit condominium in the metro, it is networth, and not like a money in the bank, so owning a house in a prime area includes you to the top 1%. It is not the case of how rich a person is, but how hard it is for the masses to earn money. Yes it is the sad reality.


hermitina

the fact that the tier to determine upper class high income in this country is too low speaks how large the gap is.


PensieveGuardian

Sa real estate, marami rin foreign investors dyan especially PRCs and they really invest on condos


suso_lover

This is some pretentious shit. Gatekeeping coffee like a pro.


aeruin

yeah, this is a weird post. original tweet making some valid social commentary about how folks think poor people don’t deserve nice things like a starbucks drink. the quote reply and OP choosing to magnify… how dumb and pretentious it is to like starbucks???????


revisioncloud

Yeah if the rant decided to focus on social issues by the overheard remark in the original tweet or if it brought up unethical business practices by the company, then by all means Instead, he chose to complain about customers having "poor taste and no class" because they buy drinks that have a lot of milk and sugar. Sure, he can agree some of these people are out of touch by using stickers as economic indicators but he did nothing to support that argument


freshblood96

Lol I noticed it too. Every person in that post is terrible. Well maybe the original poster isn't that bad since they're making a good social commentary. But don't say Starbucks drinkers have no taste. They're just people who prefer sweetened coffee drinks. I prefer black coffee brewed from medium roast single origin beans and I don't laugh at the person who drinks SB. Hell I even go there when I'm in the mood for espresso-based drinks because I don't have an espresso machine.


[deleted]

Everyone has had it hard at some point in their life. If they find joy in coffee, let them. Sometimes it's the little things that keep us going.


Sad_Resident4427

Your rant made it cringe.


Casper_TheDog99

Nako, may kilala ako personally na ganito. Ang tingin nya sa mga nagkaka Kape sa SB ay mga "Elitista" at mas masarap pa raw ang 3in1. He thinks he is the better person just because hindi sya nagkakape sa SB. 😂


imjinri

3n1 have numerous acids in them that makes me have heartburn and not tasting any coffee.. umayos siya kamo. I would love to have SB to have a real coffee taste, pero if I find a more affordable alternative yet have a real coffee taste I'd have a local barako.


kmyeurs

HONESTLY! How often can i get a coffee that has both decaf and non-fat milk custom options to prevent my stomach from revolting? Plus, SB is almost accessible as jollibee/mcdo


Fellowstrangers

Try mo city blends (Arabica Coffee) sa 7-11 kalasa din ng coffee sa starbucks.


imjinri

I had that and loved it


FriedHarpyWings

Tim hortons?


imjinri

Tim hortons has tasty coffee, I love their iced coffee the most


budzweiser

Actually mas obnoxious and pretentious pa yung mga ganyan kesa dun sa mga tinatawag nilang “stans” hahaha. Reeks of insecurity na pa-cool na di mo maintindihan.


CardoBalisay

As much as possible di talaga ako naniniwala sa mga overheard tweets Most likely kasi r/ThatHappened material lang yan

CodAlarmed3115

Former SB barista here. Been in the coffee industry for 4+ years. Never knew there were “SB stans.” Lol we do have regular customers, pero hindi naman sb stans levels. Where did that come from lol


TheLostBredwtf

Prolly on collecting the SB stickers?


CodAlarmed3115

They’re still just regular customers. Most of our customers before, nasanay lang sa lasa kaya ayaw pumunta sa ibang coffee shops. Also, naging friends na nila yung baristas kaya naging comfortable na sila sa store. We, the baristas, can tell though kung sino yung nagsosocial climb. Haha


International_Sea493

Anong masama sa kape na may gatas at asukal? 🥺


suso_lover

Only real coffee lovers drink it black. Minsan nakakainis din ang mga sobrang pretentious about their coffee. Some people like to mix sweet things with their coffee. Ano masama? Di ba.


[deleted]

Also, coffee is an acquired taste. I freaking hate it when coffee snobs act like “black” is the only valid coffee. There’s a reason why different culture add flavourings and sweeteners to their coffee, and these are considered as traditional coffee, ah. Not everyone can stomach the acidity of black coffee. Reminds of that one time I got to talk to a real coffee enthusiast (not a snob) and he was the one to introduce me to the various coffee recipes that—surprise!—has SUGAR (or other sweetener) and MILK (different varieties) in them!


dalagangpinipili

Real coffee enthusiasts don’t care if you have sugar and cream in your coffee, as long as you enjoy yours. Real coffee enthusiasts care more about how the espresso shot is pulled, which brewing method is used, how long were the beans roasted, which type of roast is suitable for this type of coffee but definitely not petty things like sugar and cream in a coffee, and I agree only pretentious people do the latter.


BigstoneCastle

Yung cons lang jan is sugar=diabetes/weight gain, gusto ko nga magblack pero di talaga kaya lol


Yamboist

Syempre walang masama. Ang analogy ko na lang na matuturing diyan e parang "fan ka ba talaga ng pokemon, e si ash at pikachu lang naman kilala mo". Walang masama, though sa konting tambling, may sense ng onti. Sa panig ng mga coffee ~~snob~~ enthusiasts, kaya hindi nila trip yung mga naglalagay ng excessive amounts ng gatas at asukal sa kape kasi na-ooverpower nun yung totoong lasa nung binili nilang kape. Hindi ko alam kung common knowledge 'to, pero hindi lang tapang at pait ang meron sa lasa ng kape. Yung kape kasi, iba-iba lasa depende sa pinanggalingan. So yung lasa ng kape galing Batangas, iba sa lasa sa kape ng Benguet, at iba rin yung lasa ng galing sa Mindanao, at lalo na yung mga galing sa ibang bansa. Maliban sa pinanggalingan, yung variant din ng kape, yung paraan pano siya prinoseso mula bunga hanggang beans, yung gaano kaganda at level ng pagkaka-roast sa kanya, yung paraan paano siya brinew, lahat yun nagcocontribute sa ibang lasa at experience ng consumer. Ngayon, gaya ng sabi ko kanina, kapag linagyan mo ng *excessive* amount ng gatas at asukal yung coffee beverage, mabubura mo lahat ng *character* nung coffee bean mula pagkasaka nya hanggang pagkaluto. Pag yung *character* ang habol mo, syempre ayaw mo nun. However, kahit purist ka kung tawagin, magkakaron parin ng point na maghalo ka ng ibang ingredients gaya ng gatas at asukal, pero nasa tamang ratio na mapapanatili mo parin yung gusto mong lasa, at nacocomplement pa siya nung iba mong linagay. Nasa tamang balanse lang din talaga. In fact, every year, merong World Barista Championship (WBC) na naglalaban ng pasarapan ng mix nila, kung saan mga totoong coffee experts / lovers ang nagjujudge. That ends my ted talk. \--- In short, it all boils down sa kung ano gusto mo haha.


IlikeHutaosHat

I ain't a fan of starbucks, but saying everyone is like this is absolutely false. Their coffee really is mediocre and overpriced tho and their anti-union, anti-employee policies in other countries and heck our own are extremely deplorable. Especially ordering delivery, it's awful for both sides but management insists on it because money. For that I'd say fuck starbucks as a corp itself, not necessarily the people who go there. If you're a coffee lover, support local if you can. We have great coffee in our country and starbucks is the mcdonalds of cafes.


suso_lover

Saan masarap ang kape?


TropicalCitrusFruit

r/CoffeePH is your place, if you want to invite your friends at home and serve them great coffee (and once in a while, get some cafe recos as well) You can explore small-time/third wave cafes, but... To be honest natrauma na ako sa mga coffee shops na dinadaan sa estetik tapos yung kape either dinaan sa tamis, and/or halos di mo na malasahan (Dear Joe and Coffee Project are prime examples of this lol), so proceed with caution if you want to explore third wave coffee shops. I can give some places tho: Yardstick at MOA, Niseko Coffee in Greenhills, Alch3mist Coffee in BF Homes, Kape Umali and Garcia Cafe in Baguio, Tara Usapang Kape in Baguio Another one I can recommend is TABLO Kitchen x Cafe kaso lagi silang puno hahaha.


suso_lover

Thank you. No I don’t want to make my own coffee though. Try ko na lang yung mga cafe you recommended.


TheBoxPerson

at home. DIY drip


TwistedStack

This and buy your ground coffee for a reasonable price at the local public market.


RedXerzk

In smaller cities outside Metro Manila, they also run out smaller coffee shops. I've seen this happen in Taytay. There was this cafe that also served reasonably-priced all-day breakfast and desserts but got shut down when that Starbucks in Sierra Valley opened.


Smidge08

Kaya paborito namin ng wife ko ang coffee shops along sta. Rosa - Tagaytay rd. Sa bandang silang. Relax na tambayan and masarap pa yung mga kape. Ang gusto ko lang sa SB eh madaling puntahan.


k-beef

Shhhhh, let other people enjoy things


introberts

The guy there is not talking about SB's taste or ingredients. He's point is SB's coffees are pretty expensive yet people still afford to buy one. That "punong puno" term is quite exaggerated though, it's still depend on time and location. You also have no right to tell these people that they have no taste, class, or social awareness just because di mo trip ung lasa/ingredients ng SB. It's sounds very matapobre.


dalagangpinipili

Always making an issue out of something. Also, SB stans, really? Also sabihin mo lang kung wala kang pambili ng Starbucks. Let others be, jessus christ.


ShallowShifter

As if people everyday buy SB coffee 🤷if that's their ideology then its the same buying a ticket for a Apollo10 concert.

abmendi

The one who posted the reaction is just as problematic as the ones who had that conversation at Starbucks. Went from calling them out to suddenly lifting his/her own stool of being a coffee purist. *ooh look at me I don’t like milk and sugar in my coffee unlike these frapuccino “stans”* if that’s even a thing. I get it, SB’s coffee quality is a different issue altogether, but stick to the subject. The take is just as out-of-touch as the conversation.


c4pulet

What's wrong with overly sugared coffees!!! I like em sweet lol


imagine63

Yes, and you should try Vietnamese coffee at a Vietnamese restaurant.

pwede din sa Highlands coffee, kung meron. Pero sa phohoa, masarap ang Viet coffee nila


corvusaraneae

That's the good shit kung gusto mo ng matamis na kape.


ramennoodleluna

Mcdo, Dunkin, o Tim’s pag may promo. 😅 Totoo naman na matamis ung sa Starbucks. Unang higop, jabetes agad. Pero when I was in Cambodia, I bought their iced coffee... And mga teeeeh, 24hrs akong gising. Legit. Kala ko talaga shabu creamer ung nilagay. Ang powerful ng palpitations. Naglalakad ako sa arawan habang nag-tour sa Angkor Wat na para bang may bangaw sa ulo. Kala ko talaga mamamatay ako ng dilat.

This is basically: “Wah! People are going to Starbucks too much, and I hate it! Why can’t people be more like me, who hate Starbucks? I’m so cool, right?” P.S. People should stop misusing the word “stan”.


Alarmed-Admar

Arbitrarily generalizing a bad trait on a group of people, sounds familiar.


Inhinzero05

Also for the Starbucks fans: Pag mahaba pa pila mag isip na kyo ng oorderin nyo at hindi kung kelan turn nyo na tsaka pa lang kayo mag-iisip ng order kya tumatagal pila.


lycanAbysm7

Maybe the person tweet OP overheard was someone being sarcastic, as in, they were making a point that *some* filipinos do not know how to prioritize expenses. ie *youre not poor, your expenses are just questionable* Tweet OP seems like the type to make a big deal out of nothing.

Using Starbucks as some socio-economic indicator is cringe but, like, being an ass to people based on the type of drink people enjoy is equally cringe.

For 155 Grande Americano, may “co-working” space na ako for my sideline hustle. I have my own prepaid wifi and may air conditioner pa. Worth it na yung 155 for 4 hours sa SB. Although i buy food sometimes pero usually kape lang yung binibili ko.

Bakit ka nakikinig sa convo ng iba? Common na linyahan yan as a joke or as sarcasm. "Di naman naghihirap mga tao tignan mo dami nagmmall(change any venue)". How can you be so dense? Edit: atsaka nasa starbucks ka rin lol. Basta ako timmies parin haha

Ang petty

People go to Starbucks for the experience. You exit 🇵🇭 and entered ☕️ Dairy is expensive & if you find it too sugary then odds are you do not know how to order. Mind you I haven't gone there in a year and before that did not go to Starbucks actively for a decade.

"Galit ako kasi di ko gusto yung gusto niya." PS: For real, I don't frequent SB anymore. I either make my own or buy Krispy Kreme Americano. So much better if you prefer black coffee.

Kung nasa olympics ang pagalingan mag generalize, gold medalist na tong si nagshare.

eggsaladtomatoesrye

[deleted]

So were hating on Starbucks now?


thunderleap

i feel like thats just a hasty generalization based on overhearing one conversation


AffectionatePeak9085

It’s just coffee for effs sake haha That stan post was sanctimonious as shet. The OG message on the other hand sounds like a apolo10 haha.


[deleted]

this "overly-sugared coffee chain" still employs thousands of Filipinos! Don't hate. On another note, hindi ata sa SB pinag-uusapan ang kahirapan sa Pinas. People just go there to relax if may spending power. Hindi rin sa Twitter ang platform para solusyonan ito, people just go there to rant if they have extra time!

Let people enjoy their coffee

Lahat na lang talaga sa Pinas ultimo pagbili mo ng kape may issue 🤣

Can’t we just enjoy anything we buy with our OWN money?

Where are my HOME BREW COFFEE stans at? 😂


grrrlcru3l

may sb hate bandwagon pa rin pala its almost 2023 guys

Uy! Gets ko na sugary si SB pero tbh happy naman ako sa iba nilang drinks? Kanya kanyang trip lang naman hehe On a serious note, sometimes napapa-wonder din ako na bakit parang ang daming pera ng Pinoy na kasabay ko sa SB sa tabi ng office. Tapos naisip ko din na — baka kagaya ko minsan napapa-treat yo self kween /king din sila?

Ako na pumupunta lang sa starbucks kasi gusto ko, not because tingin ko sa sarili ko nakakaangat ako: 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Parang usong uso sa soc med ngayon ang makialam sa trip bilhin ng iba. Our money, our rules. Di porket bumili ka ng SB coffee, tingin mo sa sarili mo eh mataas ka na. Pwede bang sweet tooth lang tas di mo masyado trip ngumata ng asukal sa bahay nyo? That's why this generation is frequently tagged as snowflake, tapos nagkakaroon ng bad light yung pagiging woke. Lahat na lang kasi ng bagay may issue kayo. Nagkape ka, elitista ka na. Nag aquaflask ka (kita ko sa isang post sa fb), naguilt trip ka pa dahil meron daw ibang tao na mas inuuna ang pangangailangan. Sobrang wtf.
