Every complaint you've ever had about Starbucks, now delivered to you by these young gentlemen, who trash the company for everything—from selling CDs ("What, are people coming in here with Discmans?") to misspelled names ("J-O-H-N, same way it's been spelled since the Bible") to the taste ("It's literally two ingredients: water and coffee. You know that expression, 'He could fuck up a cup of coffee?' That's you Starbucks, you are he."). And so on. Though can we just all agree that they deliver great seasonal drinks... even if they do contain most of your daily caloric intake?
I sure do enjoy a bottomless cup of Starbucks hate.

Starbucks is definitely not my fave, but they do treat their employees very nicely. When I worked there part-time in high school/college, I was able to accrue paid time off, stock options, a 401K, medical, dental and vision insurance (which i luckily didn't need), as well as a stock investment program (which I currently have about a 600% return on). So...I can go there without guilt. It's getting kind of cheesy, but they have a pretty decent product.
