Oh well, maybe people will that $4 a day and spend it somewhere else.

[Possibly]

Yeah, they can almost get 1 gallon of gas...

No big loss. I have never even tasted there coffee because guite honestly to pay almost $5 for a cup of coffee is ridiculous.

I've tried several of Starbucks coffees. To me they suck. I go to seven-eleven, and save four bucks.

Ben Dayho......I totally agree. Seven-eleven coffee to me is the best. Damn sure not going to pay $5.00 for a cup of coffee.

[Anon]

I won't miss them... I can't get my mind around the idea of paying those prices that they charge. And the crazy thing is that people buy multiple cups ALL DAY LONG! They must really have STARs BUCKS to buy that coffee!

Well I hear the Starbucks pays its employees well and even has a health plan. Nah, I have gone there but not often. Ever since I quit patrolling the shopping center parking lot for spare change, I have decided I can buy twelve ounce bags of starbucks and make my own. The cheapest bag is almost eight dollars. Maxwell house or Folgers only cost six dollars for about fourteen ounces. Ahhh me. Remember when the Big Time candy bar was a nickel? Whatever happened to BT anyway? I guess it went out when candy bars began getting smaller. Notice how coffee does not come in pound containers anymore? Next thing you know the gas station will be selling quarts of gasoline for three bucks for three quarts. Smart lads and lasssies these market types. One thing for sure they cannot get our money unless we give it to them. Seven eleven coffee is sick coffee. Still SB is too expensive even for the days I find almost two dollars just plugging along the streets looking for pennies.

The Cloppers Mill Shopping Center in Germantown location has only been open a few months - what a shame. I should have bought more coffee.

Designer coffee.

Now what will these addicts do? I can see Starbuck withdrawals ahead. Run for cover!

I actually worked for Starbucks and they're not a bad company to work for. the gourmet version of coffe is what can cost you $3-$5. A regular cup of coffe in a 12 oz cup will only run you 1.50. People if you real think people are spending 5 dollars on a simple cup of coffee, you are really off your rocker. The company is the only Fortune 500 company that offers medical benefits to parttime employees; do you know of any? I no longer work for Starbucks b/c I am finished school and they worked with my school schedule very well, however that is a great company to work for

7-11 coffee is better so is ebon pain's
