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.
Yeah OK but I sit her smiling at the irony that you are claiming I know not what I am talking about because I refuse to overpay for things I can get elsewhere cheaper.
BTW I rarely buy coffee anywhere at any sort of restaurant. The last one I had was on a trip to look for old guitars at a flea market. We stopped at a Micky Dees and I know I didn't overpay for the coffee because it was free due to a coupon I clipped. ;)
See I figured out that if I want coffee while out and about brewing my own and taking it with me is the best deal I can get and it always tastes good.
