That'll be 9 cents more, says Starbucks

You know how much I love Starbucks (NOT.) I'm posting this for the benefit of my friends who are Starbucks junkies.

Starbucks Corp. said it was raising prices for its coffee and other freshly made drinks in most of its U.S. stores by 9 cents this month, citing rising costs, including dairy products, energy and fuel. Starbucks said the price hike will take effect July 31, bumping the cost of most drinks by about 3 percent.

Huh?

I thought Starbucks used "non-dairy whitener" so how does the price of dairy products affect it?

I'm figuring that brings the price of a cup of coffee -- or whatever they call it at Starbucks -- to about nine bucks.

Then again, what do I know. I've never been in one.

spare me a dime, then, must remember the tip. I stop in at Starbucks quite often.

RonW - enjoy your Starbucks while you can still afford it!

Al - yup. overpriced motor oil, that's what it is.

Ozg - LOL - 'non-dairy whitener' :-)
