I think it’s also a more subtle symbol of affluence in the US as well. My local (.3 miles away and I live in a suburb close to farms) Starbucks always has an extremely long drive thru line. It seems like everyone has a Starbucks coffee in hand even with the plethora of Dunkin around here.
It’s a weird little bit of suburban culture along with host of other things OT.
That said, when I travel domestically and get off a flight I still beeline to any Starbucks kiosk for a Venti Green Tea/ Lemonade unsweetened with two Splendas.
I feel like once you go to Starbucks regularly for even a few weeks you know your preferred order and stick to it.
