Whenever we went for a drive or on a trip, we used to stop by Starbucks before setting off, and he’d buy me whatever I wanted. I loved and appreciated that thoughtfulness—it was so much fun and felt perfect. But now he buys a juice from a convenience store beforehand and gives it to me instead…
This content is machine-translated.
To me, the taste and the enjoyment are completely different.
Would my papa (a male supporter) be offended if I said I wanted to go to Starbucks like we used to?
Can anyone tell me why he switched to convenience-store juice?

> I was so happy, excited, and thrilled by that thoughtfulness.
I don’t think those feelings came across at all. He probably thought you were fine as long as you had something to drink, so he decided that stopping at Starbucks would be a waste of time and suggested just going for a drive instead.
> Would my papa (a male supporter) be annoyed if I said I wanted to go to Starbucks like we used to?
I think you should tell him everything clearly:
“Last time, I was so happy and had such a great time when you stopped at Starbucks before driving and let me choose whatever I wanted. It made the whole experience so much more delicious and enjoyable for me, so I’d love it if you took me to Starbucks every time.”
If you explain it that way, your papa (a male supporter), who had no idea you felt that way, will probably be happy to take you.
Simply saying, “I want to go to Starbucks,” probably won’t get the message across. I think it’s important to explain all your feelings properly.

Maybe they suggested a convenience store because it’s more convenient if you’re driving, since it has parking.
You can always ask for Starbucks if you’d prefer that.

I don’t usually go to Starbucks either, so I’m absolutely thrilled when my papa (a male supporter) buys me one. Maybe I didn’t do a good enough job showing how happy it made me.
Try telling him again in a cute way.

I’ve never once thought Starbucks was anything particularly special. Personally, I actually prefer convenience stores because they have a wider variety.
You two may simply have different values and sensibilities, so instead of overthinking it, why not just tell him, “I want to go to Starbucks!”?
> If I tell him I want to go to Starbucks like before, will it rub my papa the wrong way?
If a papa gets angry over something like that, you don’t need him anyway.

If I suggest Starbucks, she’ll go to Starbucks.
Sometimes we stop by a convenience store three or four times during a date, so convenience stores are popular with the girls too.
We’ve gone there even more often than we’ve had dates, so the place I’ve visited most is probably convenience stores.
I’d like a girl who can enjoy both Starbucks and convenience stores… At a convenience store, I might even be able to have her take the change for me…

Maybe you’ve realized that Starbucks coffee isn’t actually all that good.
Or perhaps you read on the Q&A site that a papa’s breath smells after drinking coffee and it got you down.
If you tell your papa how much you love Starbucks, I’m sure Starbucks can make a comeback.
