Who would have thought charging over $2.50 for a 12 ounce cup of coffee and almost $5.50 for a 12iunce vanilla latte would cause people to stop buying? Weird.

There's also the global anti-genocide boycott going on against the company.

I've been saying it for years, but it's actually incredibly easy to make even better quality coffee at home. I actually started paying more per bag of beans so that I could start buying from a local roaster. And you know what? The price of a cup of coffee (1 regular size mug) went from $.25 to $.30. and yes, this is black coffee I'm talking about which I do enjoy, but the cost of adding cream and sugar still won't add that much onto the price that it would come even relatively close to what you pay at Starbucks. You don't even need fancy equipment. There's all sorts of options that are low in price from drip coffee machines to French presses that all make great coffee. So fuck Starbucks and start buying some primo beans for yourself. You deserve it!!!

I will admit I'm fancy, and get Yuban instead of folgers.
