The other day I went to Starbucks. I ordered a large coffee with cream cost $1.78. NO PROBLEM! As I go every morning, noon and yes at night. Yes I’m addicted to the stuff. So $1.78 x 3 = $5.34 per day x 7= $37.38 per week. Most times I also purchase a cup for my mother, sister and a costly drink for my husband.
Any ways you get what I mean. I spend a lot of money there. So two days ago I go in and order my coffee for the evening and they tell me my coffee is now $2.28. I’m thinking WOW! did coffee go up? They tell me no it was for the cream. So I tell them wait a minute. You are charging me for the cream. I could not believe that. Not is this one of the only places where you cannot get a refill of coffee, they are charging for cream? Next will places charge you for catsup for your hotdog?

Soy is the only creamer you should be charged for. If you’re not getting soy, tell the barista that you will not pay for the cream. Simple as that.

What are you talking about? Milk and cream are on the side by the napkins in Starbucks, you add them yourself.

I’m a barista at Sbux. Just got done today from 5am to noon.
Corporate policy is that we dont charge for cream/milk/soy/organic up to 4 oz on any coffee or tea. Now, if you want 4 or more oz of cream-like substance, then they are supposed to charge. For me, it depends if you act like an ass or not.
What it sounds like is they tried charging you for a misto, which is 1/2 brewed coffee and 1/2 steamed 2% milk. That aint right.
Also: our venti size coffee is 2.10$. A lot of customers would love to pay 1.78$ for a venti ^_^

That’s ****ing rediculous how much money you spend at Starbucks. Get your own ****ing espresso machine and make it yourself. At the rate you buy coffee, it’ll pay off in a week. Don’t support Capitalism!

We always refer to Starbucks as “Six Bucks” cause thats what it costs to get out of there. I suggest switching to Duncan Donuts, their coffee has won every taste test between them and S.Bux over and over.

Anyone paying for Starbucks coffee is a tool and deserves to be raped in the pocket book/wallet!

If you go to star bucks on nov 5 and tell them you voted, you get a free Tall coffee.

If you tell them you voted for Obama do you get a little half and half in your joe?

Boycott Starbucks! Yes, their coffee and treats are delicious, but… A few years ago, some troops in Iraq asked to buy some Starbucks coffee and have it mailed over there. Starbucks replied that they do not support the war and would not help them. For that reason I have switched to, are you ready for it, DUNCAN DONUTS!!!!!

Lol. It amazes me that society appears to have accepted the new world order to the point where the word ‘corporate’ can be used to describe a coffee vendor.
*sigh*

What I cannot figure out is why there is a tip jar at a place where you have to wait on line to get served?

Starbuck used to be a nice meeting place to gather by the fireplace, chat and be raped by the ridiculous price they charge for coffee. Now the staff is ignorant, uncaring, the bathrooms are disgusting and if you find a place to sit where you don’t get stuck by the gluey grime left over on the tables it would really be a miracle. I really don’t like Starbuck at all now what a dismal place.

I can not believe they would do that.
