hmmmmm, this is BIG news....inflation continues to drive prices higher. Starbucks raising beverage prices next week LOS ANGELES, July 23 (Reuters) - Starbucks Corp. (SBUX.O: Quote, Profile, Research) will raise prices at its U.S. coffee shops by about 9 cents a drink next week to help offset rising costs for commodities such as milk and energy, a spokesman said on Monday. The increase is effective July 31 at Starbucks' company-owned stores in the United States, spokesman Brandon Borrman said.
Its already over priced, going to be even more over priced now. I don't even drink starbucks but had to pass the news on due to the fact that everyone thinks inflation is nothing to worry about.
Just grabbed a sandwich at a local place. Gourmet sandwich, chips, drink came out to 9.28 I told the girl that it comes as a meal deal and she said that the price was right. Then she mentioned that the prices had risen on everything. I bitch about coffee and the WSJ and then go out and have food prices thrown in my face. inflate or die!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one forces you idiots to spend $6 on something that's worth $0.06. Now go and buy some bottled water. opm8
Well, if you're paying Starbucks prices for what used to be (pre-Starbucks) worth about a dollar then you deserve to continue buying from them. Especially now that they're further making a mockery of every retard that goes in there that lines up to get fleeced. So never mind all this. You'd better go buy some bottled water. ie, why spend $0.0001 a glass at home when you can spend $1.50 for a bottle? Yaaay, I belong with the sheeple! opm8
