Because, why? If you don’t want to be in the starbucks frat you can make friends a lot of other ways too

they’re basically like if starbucks is a frat, which is fine and all! it’s just that they take themselves a bit too seriously

I worked for The Corp eons ago - 1980s. How long ago? Saxa Sundries in Copley basement. Enjoyed it - it wasn't a fraternity-like group back then, just a great bunch of people. Gave me the opportunity to meet folks from across different classes and schools that I wouldn't have otherwise met.
