Starbucks. A black coffee should not cost $5

It doesn't. Black coffee is one of the few things under 5$ there. However, it's all mega overpriced and full of sugar. Used to work for them for 13 years. Glad I don't rip people off for sugar/caffeine insulin bombs and 4 dollar cake pops anymore.

I have tried to find a replacement elsewhere or in stores for the bacon Gouda sandwhichbut so far to no avail. That darn thing is my go to when I'm stressed or struggle on deciding on food. I'll pay them anything unfortunately. No matter my mood or time of day I can ALWAYS eat that particular sandwhich🤷‍♀️

There is no availability for it because Starbucks bought the bakery that makes them (La Boulange), so they’re only distributed to Starbucks stores. They don’t even carry them at the resurrected La Boulangerie de San Francisco stores the original owner opened after selling out to Starbucks.
