Re: Paying 50 times the price
Are you comparing coffee to coffee or coffee to specialty coffee drinks? SBUX coffee tends not to be any more expensive than any other typical modern coffee shop. People where I live call it "TenBucks" and always complain about the cost of coffee. When I ask what they usually get: "Triple Grande Caramel Macchiatto with extra ..." ... uhm, that is not a "coffee".
