Don't try to change it into social media status symbol now. That is a completely different topic altogether. That still doesn't compare to TT. Having something "trending" is completely different to having something positioned as a status symbol such as Starbucks, ddi, prestigious schools, all inclusive fetes etc. I have never been to starbucks in TT but I went to starbucks in US, Europe etc. Not because it was a status symbol but because I was hungry and they were convenient.
It literally is just a coffee shop in those countries. Maybe they may have a new product that trends etc but I can guarantee you that nobody in Europe/USA going to a starbucks location to be "seen". They do that for high end dinners such as Nusr-et steakhouse etc.
Hope that clears up some things.

So it's not reading and comprehension is the challenge, it just the reading part, so lemme quote myself so you won't try again to say that I changed anything
This is my first post on the topic:eliteauto wrote:Oh please, those branded coffees are social media status symbols globally, don't try making that a Trini thing, and yes Trinis are facetious, not unlike so many people everywhere on social media, allyuh self-hate misplaced oui
See why I sent you to IG, cause it's pictures there so you might grasp.
Hope this clears things up

Starbucks is for nobodies like you who make profiles to big up themselves on social media. Same principle as posing with starbucks. I've never drank coffee. Think why you call yourself superior man. Making up for some shortfall i'm sure.

Now if you can afford to go to Starbucks everyday, then by all means, do it. But don’t try to rank up and yuh ass broke.
Learn to settle for less especially in these times.
Make/brew your own damn coffee.

Pantyboy, don't go there. You could impress little girls and boys, but you know to yourself the reality. Admit it, even if it's to yourself.

To me Starbucks is a bit overrated, I won't buy that but In the UK I preferred a brand called Costa it's just about the same price. Coffee is just coffee so if I see a nescaffe machine I will have rather gave that at a cheaper price. In the UK depending where you are you can get a cup from £1.
