Ya know, if they LOWERED their prices 9 cents, they'd still be making tons of money.
Supply and demand.

Posted: 7/23/07 at 8:57pmGo 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.

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!

Posted: 7/23/07 at 9:36pmIvan, 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.

#20re: Starbucks to raise prices
Posted: 7/23/07 at 9:43pmI already stopped going there.
#21re: Starbucks to raise prices
Posted: 7/23/07 at 9:44pmi 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

Posted: 7/24/07 at 12:22amI 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!!!
