I'll never, ever understand why people pay for Starbucks. Coffee's free at most hotels, if you really want some at the airport it's cheaper almost anywhere else, and if you just gotta have that caffeine fix, caffeine pills are a significantly easier and cheaper alternative. Seriously. But a long line when you're in a rush is super inconvenient, yeah.

I just wish they'd have a seperate cash and carry coffee only line for the busy periods. Even 4 or 5 people in line can be an all day thing if they're all ordering high mx froo froo drinks for their entire families.

The reason Starbucks doesn't have an "express" line is because, if you've waited for 15 minutes behind people ordering their expensive fu-fu lattes, you may, upon realizing it's finally your turn, feel like you're entitled to treat yourself to one because of the hassle you just endured.
