Haven’t been to Starbucks in years. So not personally affected.

What happened, minimum wage hike? Too many sit at the table for hours on end in the Internet while sipping one small coffee?

As if they are not over-priced already. Two reasons why I do not patronize Starbucks:

1) Howard Schultz

2) Outrageous prices

I love coffee. I’d go anywhere else and pay before accepting the crap they call coffee from Starbucks for free.

When the gift card’s empty, that’s it.

So long, Starbucks.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the price increase.

Starbucks CEO: If You are Anti-Gay Marriage, ‘You can Sell Your Shares”

Tom Stobhar, founder of Corporate Morality Action Center, complained about the company’s support of gay marriage, citing that the company’s support for gay marriage has resulted in boycotts against the company that have cost Starbucks a considerable amount of business.

Starbucks joins the race debate as clashes in Ferguson and elsewhere escalate tension.

Starbucks’ campaign aimed at encouraging people to talk about race relations in the U.S. is the latest example of a big company trying to tie its brands to big social issues. But the move, which has sparked backlash on social media, also illustrates how those efforts can fall flat if customers don’t see a clear correlation between the cause and the company’s products.

Are they now going to force the cashiers to have conversations with the customers about how increasing prices is racist?

I am already boycotting Starbucks for their hostility to Israel and their ultra pro gay everything stance.

The price of coffee has gone down a lot since last year. (Coffee futures)

As long as McDonalds doesn't raise their price, I'm okay.

Lots of people here don’t care for Starbucks. I rarely go there. Just Saying, Starbucks charges what the market will bear for not so great coffee. That’s their business model. They aren’t selling coffee as much as they are selling yuppies on the idea that Starbucks is for sophisticated enlightened people such as themselves.

No skin off my nose. They should charge $100 per cup and donate the proceeds to their favorite liberal queer causes.

Inflation? No, there’s NO inflation in the United States, says the Obama administration.

Anyone who pays Starbucks prices for a cup of coffee is a chump.

On my 20 mile drive to work I pass 10 latte stands (only 2 of which are Starbucks and 2 are bikini barista joints), 4 recreational marijuana shops, and 9 bars.

In my 25 years of making that commute, I’ve never stopped at any of them.

What is a cup of joe at Starbucks now anyway; $25?

$5 for a modest plastic glass of crushed ice with some carmel flavoring? Sorry, no more Starbucks.
