Any place, no matter how gruesome, can invoke warm feelings if it brings back memories. I don't eat at McDonald's anymore but if I bought a Fillet-o-Fish now, the first bite would bring me right back.
Starbucks, on the other hand, has no such associations (there were none in my childhood). All I recall was how I hopelessly tried to order a small coffee and the barista insisted that I use their ridiculous branded vocabulary.

"Imbued with a soul manufactured by the advertising agencies." Perhaps this sums up modern culture.
