Prices Going Up at SBUX

You know you’re powerless and can’t fight back. What are you going to do now that Starbucks is raising their coffee prices? Stay away or take your business elsewhere? Make your own Frappuccino? Gimme a break! You’re addicted to Starbucks’ caffeinated concoctions and just seeing the sight of that familiar green logo comforts you. You know it, and they know it.

Starting in October, all coffee-based drinks will go up a nickel and coffee beans will go up about 50 cents per pound. But this price hike is only for Starbucks locations in North America. Hawaii Starbucks falls under their International market so we won’t be affected. But then again we’re already paying a higher price for our drinks! A grande caramel macchiato here costs $4.11 and only $3.45 in the Armpit of Cali.

Maybe there should be coffee cap law or something to help stabilize the prices?
