They expanded way too much, the coffee is too expensive and not high enough quality, and more people are using drive throughs according to what I’ve heard recently.
The coffeehouse culture is probably dying off, too. The venn diagram of the type of person who got off being seen working on their screenplay or whatever in a Starbucks and the type of person who got gaslit into having agoraphobia during covid must have a lot of overlap. What remains probably sees Starbucks as being too corporate and would rather be seen at some locally run lesbian co-op.
A town I drove by had to put up "No Waiting on Public Road" signs because the Starbucks drive-throughs can only queue up to five cars max. All the fatasses refuse to exit their vehicles, so they end up spilling into traffic.

For as long as it lasts, anyway. Those places have a shorter shelf-life than a Netflix original production.
Especially after the USAIDS cuts.
