Current Events > A follow up to my Starbucks topic a month or so ago

(+) Yeah! (+)

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.

Did the barista speak in vocal fry?

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.

Called it.

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.

Okay, I'll hold you to that.

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.

A year ago my favorite drink cost $8.75 I shudder to think what it costs now.

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

Probably $10 or so.

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.

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