Shit, it even made the CBS National News. Wow, they are raising all
coffee drinks nine cents per drink. They could reduce it ninety cents
per drink and I would not go there. Way too expensive for coffee that
really is not that good.
I guess many phonies consider it the "fashionable" thing to do: been
see with a Starbucks coffee cup. If only they knew what real coffee
tastes like.

Their coffee might not be the perfect cup, however I find myself using

Most of them did better business after Starbucks, thanks to increased demand
for higher quality coffee, and the huge expansion of the home espresso
market.

Before Starbucks, most Americans couldn't tell cappuccino from capicolla.
The chief exceptions were in NYC, Boston and San Francisco, where they had
concentrated Italian populations. Add to that the comparatively few
Americans who traveled to Italy and France and bothered to sample various
coffee concoctions. Apparently Howard Schultz was one of them, and when he
got back he began to sell those fancy drinks to Americans. They were a huge
improvement over the swill served throughout America. Even Starbucks
regular (burnt) coffee was an improvement, because at least you got a
caffeine rush without drinking twenty cups.

I don't have a problem with Starbucks charging way too much for crap
coffee. They provide a service that people are willing to pay for, it's
capitalism at its best.
Doesn't mean I'll go there ... Ok, I admit it, on a rare occasion I
stop at a Starbucks for a mocha. There. It's out! Are you happy?

It made the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. He claims they had to raise the
price in order to cover the expenses of STORING all the MONEY they make
off of their ridiculously overpriced coffee!

Or, they could remove nine cents of milk from each drink and make a better
product!
