[Will the customers pay more ?]
Starbucks apparently already raised their prices.
I believe coffee is going up as much as 30 cents per drink. Some stores accidental rolled out the price increases last week . Starbucks apologized and rolled the price back but only until the official launch date with I believe is coming up this or next week. What a coincidence, price increases to keep the peons in line whom were getting pissed with reduced hours and store headcount.
