The blush is off the rose and the drinks are just too expensive for what they really are. Save the environment and cut your prices Star-BUCKS.
Outrageous, I won't even get a coffee from Dunkin Donuts. $2.00 for a coffee? No thanks, I'll brew my own.
The blush isn't off of anything when profits are up sixteen per cent.
Lets see....profits up 16%, same store sales up only 4% .... and that was because they could not sell their product fast enough.
Looks like a buy to me.
Yup. And alot of folks who tried Starbucks and started to learn about gourmet coffees tried something else and decided they liked it better than Star(burnts).
I could make a better tasting coffee with unburn charcoal remnants from my grill.
I tried my first "real" Starbucks (cold) drink a few weeks ago when there was a report here of a bunch of busy bodies suing Starbucks over their calorie and fat content. So, I thought I'd try what they were suing over. The 24oz drink was quite good, but with tax it was $5.20! I can go to a Quik Trip and get something that's almost as good, but in a 52oz cup for $1.19! And a drink that size lasts me 3 days in the fridge!
