Starbucks removes 13 drinks from their menu, simplifying their offerings and making baristas lives easier. /r/starbucksbaristas are NOT HAPPY
The drinks being removed are literally all either milkshakes or teenage girl non-coffee drinks, including the Java Chip Frappuccino, the Iced Matcha Lemonade, the Royal English Breakfast Latte and the Chocolate Cookie Crumble Crème Frappuccino
Note that most of these drinks can still be ordered via customising existing drinks, this change is mostly menu simplification
/r/starbucks and /r/starbucksbaristas should be very happy about this - the two subreddits are constantly filled with baristas complaining about how many ridiculous drinks they have to make, and However theyre mad, and Lets try to understand why:
/r/legaladvice lol but go off i guess
Its nasty and bland because it like only contains 20g added sugar instead of 40g added sugar (excluding literally any sugar thats in the other ingredients in the drink)??? American tastebuds have been destroyed
If customers want a stupid drink then they have to build it themselves in the app and pay more for it, and Sounds like a win win
omg! Youre not kidding anyone, youre still going to Starbucks no matter how much they charge you for your sugar slop 
i feel like 1, and Train your staff better
2, and Itll be easier for them to make now that its listed as a base drink + modifiers rather than expecting a barista to know exactly how to build a Chocolate Cookie Crumble Crème Frappuccino

"Hey, can I get a venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha Frappucino with 10 pumps of white mocha, extra ice, light whipped cream, 4 ristretto shots, and can you double-blend that? Oh, and add 5 pumps of vanilla syrup, caramel drizzle, mocha drizzle, extra caramel crunch topping, and make it with light oat milk. Can you also add cold foam made with almond milk, 2 pumps of sugar-free vanilla, and 1 scoop of matcha powder? Oh, and double-cup that with a tall straw and an extra hot sleeve on the side. Thanks!"

There are millions of Americans spending $8+ a day on Starbies on credit cards they don't pay off every month. I'm not sure what my point is other than most people are r-slurred but the government needs to bring back debtors prisons or something for poors not paying off their credit cards and loading them up with stupid shit
Jump in the discussion.

We should pass laws making it easier to get out from credit card debt.
Not because I care about people in CC debt, but because that's the only way you'll force those lenders to stop lending so much.
Same with student loans. Make new ones dischargeable under bankruptcy. The infinite money faucet would immediately shut off and colleges might need to actually give a shit about costs again.

I mean if you're a productive member of society you probably wouldn't want to tank your credit for 7 years over $20k in loans but it would 100% prevent lenders from loaning out $150k for some r-slur to attend private art school.

Pretty sure the average student debt load at graduation is something around $20-$30k. You'd be surprised how low it is, the $100k+ people are insane outliers.
ofc those people then spend the next decade paying basically nothing on the loans while interest accrues and they wind up owing more than when they started.
Jump in the discussion.

Im super confused by people who will only pay the interest on their loans and then wonder why their debt never gets less. Ive seen posts like that several times on social media, and it really makes you wonder why anyone still takes colleges seriously when people like that manage to get a degree there.

tbh, i'd probably hate this change if i were a barista. i assume each sugarslop drink on the menu has a dedicated button on the POS screen. they're probably going to remove those and make the wagies manually add and remove individual ingredients to build these drinks if customers keep ordering them.
seeing these drink names, idk why they keep pretending to be a coffee shop. to maximize profits, they should drop all coffee from the menu and use the counter space it takes up to add a soft serve machine and a build-your-own cupcake bar.
that's what the customers (white women) really want.
