Ahhh Yeah I don't pay over 2 bucks for a cup of coffee either anywhere..
See, the reason I don't is because I was smart enough to realize that it is much hipper to not overpay for things I can get elsewhere much cheaper. And since I learned that at an early age it is why I now am retired well before 60 and have plenty of money to live on.
I watch people who constantly complain they have no money to live on while they are cruising around in their 50 thousand dollar SUVs while drinking their 4 dollar mocha chocas from Starbucks and texting on their 800 dollar iPhones/androids. So I may sound stupid to you but realize, I am sitting here in my large downtown commercial building in which I live that is paid for with literally no personal bills save for utilities and insurance, a new car parked out front we just paid for cash (And got a ridiculously good deal on due to the dealer being stuck with 10 of the same 2016 car that he was having trouble selling.) and the reason is because my Mom didn't raise any children that are dumb enough to overpay for a cup of coffee.
Also the satire part of the comment doesn't have anything to do with my comment. My comment was about Star Bucks high prices not about whether they were doing anything with lesbians etc.
So what do you pay for a cup of coffee?
$1.61 for the dreck from McDonalds?
IHOP coffee for $2.19?
Waffle House quality for $1.79?
Starbucks isn’t about being hip. It is about a good product at a reasonable price in a convenient location. Must be working because they are up to over 21,000 locations.
As for the phone, I own Apple phones and have never paid more than $200 for any of them. I have had cheap phones. They tend to be awful. My business and livelihood are dependent on a phone that always works. No Andriod device I have had has been anywhere near as reliable as my iPhones. They must be doing something right.
This crotchety, persnickety attitude of some on FR - especially without firsthand knowledge of what they are talking about - is really getting old.
