| clever marketing it's clever marketing to get people to believe that the product cost so much and to convince consumers to buy those products and services.. well, all this was not lost on the company who knows to well that a sucker is born every day.
sooner or later a company such as google will come and take away that lucrative market, and the likes of verizon will have a reckoning as well when real competition hits the marketplace it its 65 million subscriber heart.
hey, now that the economy isn't doing so well, maybe $4 for a cup of deluxe coffee wasn't such a hot idea.. starbucks might have to (oh no, the sky is falling) actually CLOSE SOME STORES! |

Oh get off it. I've bought "deluxe" coffee at Starbucks for a decade, and it never costs more than $1.50. My local donut franchise (Yum Yum) charges MORE than starbucks.
McDonald's coffee is actually marginally better than SBUX, but they can't compete on ambiance, if you're among the few who wish to "dine in". I don't wish to appear a snob, but McD's is always laden with screaming kids, bums, and various lower-class folks with annoying habits. |
