ghetto latte

I order 4 shots of expresso and 2 shots of carmal to help cut the expresso, then I go over to the condiment bar and add 2 to 4 oz of non-fat milk.

Do you think that is stealing from the company? After reading through this I may just brew more of my own coffee and save a few bucks. My routine was 2 of above said drinks a week, I would be charged 2.30 or 2.60 depending on who rang it up and I never quibbled.

Over the course of one year not going to starbucks I could save 240.00. Am I over reacting?

BTW, if you order the above drink you will gain super human powers😉

they sold it to you at menu prices, why would you think its stealing?


the comments on that webpage are awesome

granted, they're making starbucks lose money,

oh really, someone just paid $5 for half a cup of hot water and a little half and half from the 'condiment bar' and starbucks is losing money? my ass.

Well, their goal is to make as much profit as possible, which is in direct conflict with your goal of getting your product at the lowest obtainable price.

 

[nakedfrog]

Yeah, some of those people are overly dedicated...

never EVER try to argue about ANYTHING with a coffee shop hippie. Their logic is similar to females in that no rational thinking man can understand it.

The people leaving those comments need to get their heads out of their asses. When Starbucks dies, it's going to the level of hell just above Wal Mart.

It's not stealing, because they offer it freely. You're just taking advantage of it.

Starbucks is teh debbil.

They are way over-priced because they are trendy. The Ghetto Latte is a way to beat the system. Yay for the ghetto mofo.
