I haven't been inside a Starbucks in what seems like almost a year -- till today. Sure, on road trips I'll head in-n-out and get my java fix but it's nowhere near as often as the daily ritual it used to be.

Here are a few reasons:

Internet went free for everyone. This was a bad thing (for me anyway) because the internet speed took a nose dive. More people with laptops came in and power outlets became scarce as did seating.
I found out about the Aeropress coffee maker. Wow, there is hardly an easier and faster way to get my coffee that's clean and easy, not to mention economical.
Some Starbucks cafes are either freezing cold and some are simply not cold enough. Strangely enough, the one I'm in right now is just right for a change.
The quality of some drinks have gone down, and some of my favorite syrups went missing. Anybody remember that melon syrup? They never brought that back!
I'm working on being more health conscious about what I eat, especially since I stopped going to the gym for a long while now. Those icy frapps taste really good, but they contain a ridiculous amount of corn syrup, other sugars and calories.
Let's face it, the coffee isn't that great - at least the regular and the daily aren't and that's usually what I get.
Clear 4G = faster internet almost everywhere. Sitting in this Starbucks, I'm getting 5x the speed off my MiFi unit. You can find me at some park bench or sitting under a tree with that speed.
Music is too loud, it's difficult to make a quick phone call without stepping outside.

Nonetheless, I'm still glad that you can find a Starbucks on almost every major street. Seeing today's Starbucks stock at $36.39 (and still rising looking at the past 2 years), they must be doing many things right.
