I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

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

Supply and demand.

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!

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.

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.
