to think that a softplay is not 'proudly serving Starbucks Coffee' if they are in fact using a can of squirty UHT cream?

[lougle]

When you pay Starbucks prices for roadside caf' quality....it rankles a bit.

They use squirty cream too

1. They probably mean the coffee beans, not the recipes.
2. Starbucks use squirty cream too.

Yy Starbucks use squinty cream.

Do they ask your name for the full Starbucks nosey Parker experience?

Starbucks cream is whisked by fairy unicorns galloping around a bowl with their horns in the cream, isn't it?

Is that tax deductible fairy unicorns?

They don't use squirty cream. They use real cream in a whipping cannister. Thick, real cream.

The softplay used UHT squirty cream. Thin, UHT cream. Not the same thing at all.

Lol at "squinty cream"

Weird thread. I prefer Costa.

They said they were serving Starbucks coffee, not Starbucks cream.

It is a big issue!

If I'm paying 40p for 'whipped cream', I don't expect to be given a measly squirt of UHT cream that dissolves on contact.

HowlCapone - They use a Starbucks price list with 'whipped cream' listed as 40p. Just the same as a normal Starbucks coffee shop.

Starbucks is substandard. Costa is the way forward!

But Starbucks prices aren't that different to other coffee prices, are they?

They are serving Starbucks coffee - they don't say anything about Starbucks whipped cream

I'm with NewEra and Pancakes and would be happy, and proud, to avoid the Starbucks coffee, with or without the squirty cream and wait until I find the nearest available Costa.

Starbucks don't charge extra for cream though

Costa is clearly superior to Starbucks in so many ways, but unfortunately, Costa do not make pumpkin spice latte. Starbucks wins.

Plus, Costa pay their taxes and so cannot afford fairy unicorns.

Costa is much nicer. But the softplay we went to serve Starbucks.

I don't think it's relevant whether costa or Starbucks is better (to which the answer is Nero) as the OP was a captive audience at soft play.

X post!

Anyone who puts whipped cream of any type on coffee deserves to be overcharged for it. Revolting.

Starbucks are tax evading shit coffee.

Costa Coffee is much nicer.

I'm with you, Carrierpenguin. However, if I'd gone to the counter and said:

"Please may I have a Costa Iced Latte with caramel syrup and whipped non-UHT cream", I would have left the counter empty handed.
