To recap, the drink I get used to cost $6.45. The day the $20/hr minimum wage took effect it cost $6.95. Now today it costs $7.75. At this rate, fast food is going to price itself out of business.

Speak in what? I have never heard of that before.

Starbucks nationally has been raising prices every month, nothing to do with local labor costs. And, yeah, they actually missed sales goals and blamed it on some BS instead of obvious price issues.

The price remained unchanged for about a year before that. My wife is the one told me about the drink when she was working at Starbucks. I'd say it is a combo of situations causing the prices to go up.

Or, which has been proven time and again, maybe it's corporate greed.

He's literally never going to admit that.

It's all the liberals' fault, you see.

Like I said it is a combination of factors. You do know when wage is increased that is not the only thing factored in. Their income tax payments go up for example. Not everything is corporate greed. I can guarantee if someone tried to run a business and saw all the stuff that goes into it they would change their tune.

Sorry for being reasonable and not always pigeonholing everything into one cause and keeping an open mind.

I'll keep that in mind next time you make a topic crying about California, or Oregon, or whatever other liberal area you're obsessing over this week.

I just was curious about Jack in the Box prices so I looked up the one near me. The cost of a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger Meal is $14.18. I remember when it was $6.99.

What is the drink?

I now hardly ever go, only if Im away from my house and need a caffeine boost, and I stick to a small iced shaken espresso with soy milk
Its already a lot with the soy upcharge (used to be free btw back when it was the Starbucks doubleshot on ice) but at least it doesnt break $5

Venti Matcha Frappucino with 5 pumps of peppermint, java chips and no classic. The only upcharge is the java chips.

Anyone complaining over fast food or coffee chain prices cant be taken seriously. At the end of the day those food and drinks are made with ingredients to get you addicted. Youll continue to spend those prices even if begrudgingly because you need your salt and sugar fix.

How do people determine they like such a specific drink like this?

I only drink "plain" coffee, so it's confusing to me. I just like it black or a latte.

My wife worked at one and knew I liked mint chocolate chip milkshakes so she came up with one similar.
