This thread is funny, in that, lots of people are critizing this woman going to Starbucks in the first place.
What does the business she went to, have to do with the fact, that they overcharged her?
Of course she could make a cup of coffee at home for a fraction of the cost of going to Starbucks. But what does that have to do with the story?
Starbux is truly genius.
They took a basic commodity and somehow made it incredibly desirable AND profitable.
They built one in our small burg, and when the Hardees across the street went out of business, Starbux bought it and now runs both and they both always have a big line at the drive thru.
But what does that have to do with the story?
