(AP - New York) -- Starbucks Corp will raise U.S. prices on coffee, lattes and other drinks by an average of 9-cents a cup next week to help offset soaring costs for milk and other commodities, a spokesman said on Monday.
'Cause they weren't making enough money as it was *eye roll*

Ya know, if they LOWERED their prices 9 cents, they'd still be making tons of money.
Supply and demand.
Because they can.
People will pay whatever they charge so they can raise prices whenever they want
Starbucks sucks for so many different reasons...
Woe is to us, the downtrodden and addicted.
Ain't that the truth.
Aww man. I'll have to rebudget my coffee spending.
there are too many limbs in your avatar Foster.
Jerks. Some of their drinks cost about the same as a gallon of milk.
Go to those corner bodegas, people. The coffee is a lot better and a lot cheaper. There was life before the mocha latte soy thai grande yada yada crap they did!
we don't have corner bodegas here. And 7-11 just doesn't cut it.
Damn Starbucks! Capitalist pigs! Where is Radi when you need her?
You mean I have to memorize a whole new set of prices??? And deal with whiney customers??
Blah!
Big deal. What is 9cents? I don't even know how much they are now. I just get whatever I want.

Well, bully for you. Glad you're rich. 9 cents each time you go to Starbucks each time adds up.
If you go everyday for a year, that's $328!
Ivan, I hardly ever get out of there for under five bucks. And I'm only getting one beverage. So a nice cent raise on already really high prices is quite a lot. Like Q said, it adds up.
or..you could brew your own at home..just a thought...
I already stopped going there.
i am not really rich, but if the difference between me getting what I want at Starbucks or going without is 9 cents I will NOT be going without. I rarely do. LOL
in terms of "gourmet" coffee, i like juan valdez.
I kind of agree with Ivan on this one. If you can afford five bucks for a freaking cup of coffee nine more cents ain't gonna bust you.
But that's 9 cents that I could not be putting into my 401-K!!!
