I have a question for Americans regarding High American Culture:
Is there a reason why Starbucks is called Starbucks? does it literally mean "Bucks from stars"?
Like they literally made this place for special snowflakes to drink over-priced coffee and have it right in their fucking name so non-mongrels could realize it was just a scheme?

>>57641786
It's named after the first mate in Moby Dick...
It's the possessive, but the apostrophe is often dropped for store names.

When you look at your hand do you only see intersecting triangles and circles instead of flesh and bone?
According to Google it's named after a character in Moby Dick.

As another Anon said, it's named after the first mate in Moby Dick.

Well yeah, the whole point of a joke for idiots is that they always ask you "hey man are you joking???" and you say "nah man" and they believe you
If they outright said it then it wouldn't be possible to pull it off
