Hola, chooseascreennamepat

"Of course he has no overhead and is not allowed to make a profit and the loss leader items miraculously cost nothing to make up for your attitude,

Have you ever run a business?"


Are you calling a $4.50 latte a loss leader at a coffee shop?!

Remember when Starbucks closed stores and their stock went south when gas prices hit $4.00/gallon?

I have enough business sense to know that I would prefer to sell some lattes at $4.50 each and have some people frequenting my place of business, even if they stay a few minutes longer than some arbitrary time limit, than to have no customers and sell no product.

Never been in a Starbucks in my life and never will. AFAIAC, Dunkin Donuts makes the best coffee. But, SB sure makes the $$.
