However i have had some hot chocolate at Starbucks, and find it the worst drink I have ever tasted.

Sometimes I think I should just go in there and ask the guy behind the counter to simply kick me in the shins for the same amount of money. Would be just about as enjoyable. I also really dislike how they have run all of the small local coffee shops out of business. A Starbucks store has about as much personality as a damp cardboard box. Feels like sitting in a cooperate cafeteria. Believe it or not 7-11 actually makes a pretty good, drinkable cup of coffee. Some of the better coffee I've recently had was from a catering truck that served a roast from the New Hall Roasting Company, which I subsequently stumbled across at Costco...
