I thought the Starbucks app was heading that way (in the sense of it remembering your regular order so you could order it as you walked into the store and pay with the app and just get your coffee) but the newest version doesn't seem to have the build-your-order functionality.
I pretty much only go to Starbucks when someone gives me a gift card (not out of any anti-Starbucks principles, really, it's just worked out that way) so each visit is an adventure of me not knowing what I'm doing.
I used to go somewhere that had the carafe of coffee out for self-serve with honor system payment, you only had to go the register for something fancy. That was great.
I am one of THOSE Seattle people, and will only go to Starbucks if it is the only option. I like the theoretical idea of a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but the reality is too sweet and too much milk.
My officemate prefers the pumpkin spice coffee at 7-11.
I think Starbucks coffee tastes awful. To be fair, I think most coffee tastes awful.
Starbucks coffee tastes over-roasted to me, and I generally like a dark roast. My local coop has great coffee, on a self-service, free refills basis. I'm gonna miss them.
I'm a Starbucks girl. There are better coffees out there - Metropolitan, Blue Bottle come to mind - but none that are also convenient on a regular basis. I virtually never get any of the flavored stuff except chai.
Hooray, I don't have diabetes!
Now I just have to do a sleep study. But I'm guessing all the fatigue I've been experiencing is due to anxiety.

That's because it is over-roasted. That's part of how they achieve the consistent Starbucks flavor. Being able to give people the exact same thing every time is a smart business model.
Yay tommyrot!
That is excellent news on the Supreme Court front!
They've go that blond roast now, I hear. I did get all fancy one time and try a Clover brewed, um, Kona? A bean from some specific region. I think I asked for something with a lighter roast, too, before we settled on the bean. Not this last gift card but the one before. Perhaps just asking for coffee instead of getting terribly specific was my mistake this time, but the drive-thru did not lend itself to all that.
Go tommyrot! I hope you can find something to help, whatever the cause turns out to be. Non-specific fatigue is such a drag.
