I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

My office manager would frequently provide Starbucks treats/coffee twice a month. She'd also parade around every day with a $10 sugar drink.

Back of the napkin math: $400 a month personally, and $500 a month from the company. Or $4800/yr and $6000/yr.

In my city, Starbucks has been closing rather than allow stores to unionize. Apparently, the latest closing was the last straw. Fed up, she finally purchased locally. And to her surprise, her drink "tastes better".

Small win.

If you're going to drink that much coffee, look at St Louis Bread Co/Panera Bread, their Sip Club makes it cheap. $13/mo, and large cold drinks are around $3.25, so it doesn't take long for the membership to pay for itself, and as I'm a courier, it definitely saves me money. That said, support local if you can.
