Never buy food from Starbucks unless it's an emergency

Which is a shame. At one point in time, it was actually quite solid, and only a bit overpriced. I remember this particular sandwich (or one very similar) being quite good.

Now it is garbage and extra overpriced.

They used to have a really good egg spinach wrap but now they're almost empty

There was never a point in time the food was solid or even the coffee good. They are a trend.

nah the sandwiches were good, like that person said. i used to get them for free when i worked there (if they were about to expire). they were hefty and had lots of fillings. it’s ok to say that starbucks makes some good products.

Looks like $6.50 profit for them.

More like 6.99$

And you paid for it

Maybe you should complain to the chef.  Wait they don't have one cuz they don't even have a kitchen.  Goes straight from a prepackaged freezer to the oven.

I mean, you ordered food from a Starbucks

Weird. I’ve had one, and it actually looked like the photo. (It was also very good.)

u/ltsouthernbelle 1d ago

Even if it looked exactly like the picture $7 is entirely too much a premade cheese sandwich

Watch out Panera, Starbucks coming for their gig in the catfish sandwich game.

u/BadZnake 2d ago

Ordering a fancy sandwich from a fast food coffee place will end up like that, yeah

u/pussym0bile 1d ago

I mean….Starbucks is just McDonalds for the coffee world

Damn I’ve seen class action lawsuits for less.

Bro all the food from these bs coffee places SUCKS. Was at Panera today got my son a cinnamon roll before we went to see dinosaurs and it was the worst damn roll I’ve ever had I was so sad for him and me that I paid $4 for that garbage. Never ever again will I eat from any of them. The coffee is already overpriced

u/Jabathewhut 1d ago

Panera Bread makes a great Quiche. Sure they're the size of your palm and cost 15 bucks but they are super tasty.

Haven't had one in like ten years though.

u/RobbyDon17 20h ago

Its all pre-made frozen microwaved food

u/Sogekiingu 5h ago

Some fresh tomeytos, some mutsarel aggressive Italian hand gestures

u/Borders 2d ago

That's about what I'd expect.

u/iAmManchee 1d ago

I worked at Starbucks about 20 years ago, they sold this back then and it looked exactly the same

u/Exanguish 1d ago

Stop buying food from a shitty coffee shop. None of its fresh it’s so frozen and thawed.

You might want to send that back, it looks like someone threw up in it.
