Try living in New England where 90% of our coffee is supplied by Dunkin Donuts. The other 10% is a mix if starbucks and independents who all use Green Mountain Coffee.
There's nothing "independent" about anybody around here.

LOL. That's a tough spot to be in, Hoju! I live in the Seattle area (SBUX headquarters here) and we have tons of good coffee roasters.

Starbucks was really terrific at one time. Now it tastes bitter and burnt.

I worked for Seattle's Best Coffee in the early 90s and we used to call Starbucks Charbucks so it's been bitter and burnt tasting for a long time...
I don't mind their chai lattes so are they shopped?

1. Is Starbucks shopped?
2. I am not picky. If the coffee is caffeinated, it wins.
3. Is Starbucks shopped?

It needs to be shopped. First of all, I want to kick myself every time I go in there because it is so ridiculously expensive. For those prices, there should be much nicer/better customer service. At many locations, the employees are almost surly. And the cappuccinos I order end up like lattes half of the time because the barista doesn't make good foam. I get a dirty look when I ask them to remake it. When I order it dry in order to avoid the latte situation, I get a dirty look if I ask them to add milk.
