A fresh wave of online criticism has erupted after comments attributed to Starbucks leadership defending the price of a $9 coffee began circulating widely. The remarks, linked to CEO Laxman Narasimhan, framed the high cost as part of a broader ‘premium experience’, a phrase that quickly became the centre of heated debate across social media platforms.
It's not even that good. In Italy or Spain I can get a good one for €1 or €1.20. Or I can make one myself for half that.
>>534514541>$9 coffeeThis country is failing
These companies are going to have a really hard time selling their products at these prices when it costs $10 in gas just to travel to fetch it.
The sheep that buy this shit deserve to be fleeced. I hour they increase the price to $15 a cup. It should cost more than an entire pound of coffee beans to drive home the point to how retarded and lazy people are.
Only idiots spend money on coffee. Your splurges are the reason you can’t afford a house.
>>534514541I never get anything at Starbucks but the good thing about higher prices is it creates NNZs (no nigger zones). So, you decide how much that's worth to you.
>>534514541convincing argument, he should tell that to the mob stringing him up when a cup of coffee becomes a luxury item in America
>>534514541He can put the price he wants and can have the opinion about it that he wants too. People also have the freedom to go to Starbucks or not. In my case I only go like a couple of times per year so I don't care if they rise the price.
Pro-tip
>>534514541That’s why those cheap Chinese stores are taking off in NYCHalf the price and it’s takeout only
>>534515191The cheapest caffeinated drink you can buy is loose leaf tea and make it yourself at home.
Holy shit just buy coffee beans and make it at home, it's so much cheaper. If you care this fucking much MAKE IT AT HOME. Starbucks coffee is SHIT anyway, buy your own beans! You don't have to grind them, most places that sell beans will grind them for you at no charge! A fucking $20 Mr. Coffee machine will last you 10+ years because it's so simple a machine and will make you a small pot of coffee in 3 minutes with WHATEVER BEANS you want!This costs you like $0.33 per day even if you buy premium blends! It can cost you as little as a few cents per day if you cheap out and buy shitty folgers in a can from Costco! Life doesn't have to be expensive!

And a second pro-tip. Thank me later.
>>534514541i buy instant coffee at Grocery Outlet--its like 7 cents a cup and i dont have to drive out of my way each morning to get it.
>>534515137A sucker is born every minute. You aged out of the scam but there's a whole new crop chomping at the bit to take the spot you vacated.

>>534514541OkI'll just make my own coffee
>>534514541I only drink coffee instant, type 2.
>>534515238Are you so dumb you think Starbucks is the only place to get a cup of coffee? It's always been extremely overpriced. You can go to literally any diner and order a cup of coffee for less than half of what Starbucks charge, and they give you free refills.
>>534514541I stopped buying this garbage over a year ago. If you're going to have coffee, make your own. Starbucks sprays all their beans, it's overpriced poison.

GOLEM GOLEM GOLEM GOLEMafter all.
>>534515137>These companies are going to have a really hard time selling their productsYou people say this shit all the time and nothing ever happens. "Oh NYC will be a ghost town if Mamdami gets elected" K. Still waiting. "Oh fast food will disappear if California does a $20 minimum wage" I'm pretty sure they still have McDonald's"No dollar menu? RIP McDonalds" No they still exist and are doing fineNothing ever happens.
>>534515311>A fucking $20 Mr. Coffee machine will last you 10+ yearsNah they last for like 2 or 3 years if you're lucky because it's chinese crap, but it's still worth it to make your own at home
>>534515368i like coffee that fights backthis is my brandblended with chicoryoriginally formulated to stretch coffee stocks during warbut once you get used to itit stretches your coffee anusand you can't go back to anything elsei feel i'm not doing a good job of selling it but it's good

>>534515349Kill yourself corporate shill faggot loser
>>534514541>sell $9 coffee >tell everyone it isn't $10 coffeeHe isn't wrong
>>534514541Never bought sarbucks, never used amazon, never used door dash, haven’t bought a fast food meal in years.
>>534515018Trudeau physiognomy
>>534514541Lmao. $9 coffee is good while they barrel towards bankruptcy. I'm thrilled zoomers are gonna put them under.>t. GenX home coffer brewer.
>>534516140never used amazon, or never used amazon for food?
>>5345145419 dollars? I get something expensive and its never more than 5. They must get the off menu size and order a frappe or something.
>>534515148A small latte is already more than a gallon of milk. Starbucks doesn't even cater to coffee drinkers, it focuses more on dumb teenagers lately and every new offering is sugary slop. I'm shocked they don't charge more for these though, because the addicted zoomers cannot stop buying them.
>>534516041It's shit. Southerners don't understand coffee at all. I've had it straight from the source in Nola and it was like gas station coffee.
>>534514541Coffee is a fucking crutch. Just drink water you fat faggots
>>534514541isn't it pretty easy to just not buy it? starbucks coffee is definitely not a core item.gen z: oh it's so unfair, I can't afford a home.
>>534515725Those cunts have some sort of patent on the design of the bent handle part of the grinder and they forced other grinder companies to change the design from a bent handle to either straight or to have some folding contraption they are a bunch of faggots and I'll never buy one.
>>534514541>>534515018What race is this thing?
>>534516444Plastic Surgery, surely. Tons of it.
>>534514541Hi, Boomer here. Longtime lurker first time commenter. When I was young, you could sit at a cafe order sandwich and get unlimited coffee refills for free.They didn't even charge for coffee.
>>534514541Premium caffeinated milkshake"okaaaaay"
>>534516383boomer retard
People will keep buying. The entire country are just good goy consoomers that not only pay but DEFEND corporations.
>>534514541Wow. Maybe you faggots should start brewing your own coffee.Fucking homos.
>>534515555Spastic anything other than a bialette. Aero anything especially
>>534514541how do american drink this slop?
>>534515945>"Oh NYC will be a ghost town if Mamdami gets elected" K. Still waiting.People have been fleeing the state in record numbers, you gigatard. Do you pay attention to literally nothing?>"Oh fast food will disappear if California does a $20 minimum wage" I'm pretty sure they still have McDonald'sAgain, since you pay attention to nothing I guess you missed the whole thing about a large slew of locations closing down because of the wage increases forcing the prices up and customers not keeping up with it. >"No dollar menu? RIP McDonalds" No they still exist and are doing fineThey're objectively not though? Record low profits, that spike and valley WILDLY as they keep on bringing in new "low cost meal deals" and then doing away with them weeks later. Holy fuck you're beyond retarded. The fact you're allowed to vote is a sin against mankind. You're an actual fucking mouth-breathing slave.
>>534516256>eww mommy, beer tastes icky!you have to give it a chance to work its magic on your coffee anus
>>534516200Never used amazon. Period.
>>534516795It's disgusting as far as coffee is concerned and you're a retarded fag for shilling it.
>>534516673Because so many of them are conditioned to believing that only one place can add unhealthy amounts of shitty creamer and sugar to burnt coffee
>>534514541>A premium experienceDrinking moldy shit water is not a premium experience. Forcing people to pay $9 for a single cup of it should result in the death penalty.
>>534514541>Starbucks CEOwhere is his jaw? he's just a fucking jabbawhat the fuck is wrong with you people? can you at least resemble a fucking human?fucking mcgoys, get it together
>>534514541It's not coffee.It's a caffeinated sugar drink with more calories than a grown man requires in a day.
Someone please make a basedjak of this idiot
>>534516537I do.I even steam my water when I make Americano.
>>534517157i entreat the assembled to investigate the complex flavor note of Cafe du Monde and judge for yourselvesyour coffee anus will thank you and you can thank me later

>>534514541Imagine being smart enough to figure out that you sell more product when the prices make sense.
>>534515660lol associating with maga at this point is asking to lose sales
>>534515555Quads nigger drinks coffee from hot plastic cuck device, not surprised. Got another fast-paced ping pong game planned during the office coffee break, normalfaggot?
I haven't bought Starbucks since 2012 and every now and then I get a gift card, I just give them to my wife
>>534515284isn't caffeine powder even cheaper?

>>534518002>Jet-AlertSmart nigger is smart^
>>534514541If you're the sort of person who unironically pays $15 for a Subway sub or $9 for a small black burnt coffee from Starbucks you kind of deserve to be milked like the goyim cattle you are.
>>534516026>needing a machine to make coffee Retards
>>534516041Good stuff, bitter is better.
>>534514541Cheeky bastard
>>534514541the premium experience of having the dyke spit in your cup an then ask for a tip
>>534517908I had some in New Orleans as well and don't really remember it, but your commitment to the bit makes me think I need to grab a can next time I'm at the store
>>534515660Buy an ad your basement drain pissing Chud.
>you get a premium experienceI dont want a premium experience I want caffeine in my veins
>>534514541What kind of experience do you get at starcucks?
>>534514541>slopseller defends their product>newsworthy
>>534514934the premium experience is for the CEO
>>534515555Shove your novelty knick knack up your ass faggot
All I care about is my experience. I will pay any amount for anything no matter what it is as long as I have an awesome, unforgettable experience as a result
>>534516602Underrated
>>534516108Didn’t read. Poor people talking disgust me.
>>534515265How am I supposed to microwave this?
>>534514541Put back the pajeet ceo. If you are going to scam me for a $9 coffee you better have a pro pajeet scammer.>>534515311This. Just buy coffee beans yourself. Fresh tasting. And if you are caffeine sensitive like me you can add the perfect dose so you don’t become too jittery. I paid like $20 for it and Im still been using the bag months later.
>>534518002Ahb yes, you build tolerance, then discover meth
>>534514934You can buy a nice espresso machine for like $500. You can get a premium machine for like $1000. Maybe I am underestimating the goy cattle, but I’m not convinced Goybucks can charge 1/50th of the price of an espresso machine for a single cup of coffee. Like it just doesn’t make sense. If you drink a cup a day, it pays for itself within 2 months.
>>534514541Starbucks is jeeted now?
>>534518059>sell more product when the prices make sense.you're not getting it.say you have 10 niggers, each will pay $1 for your coffee.you raise the price to $10. now the niggers are gone, replaced with one Stacy.you made MORE money, with less work, and don't have to deal with niggers anymore.companies all seem to be figuring this out simultaneously. most customers are way more trouble than they're actually worth
>>534514541That's like if someone tortured this faggot and was like, "well at least I didn't kill you and you got a premium torture experience." Kek.
>>534515191kikes are covering their asses. "y-you all are the ones who are wrong"
>>534521280I don’t want to spend the time making the espresso. I don’t want to clean the machine. I want to go out into the world and hear random conversations and bump into people I know and say hi. I want to order something different every once in a while. t. Spends $5 on coffee every day at the local coffee shop.
What the hell am I supposed to do with my 20$ Starbucks gift card
>>534521280>Maybe I am underestimating the goy cattleYou are. They live paycheck to paycheck and don't have $500-1000, but they do have $10 every day.
>>534514541>$9 coffeeIt costs that much now, or did he give an example of the most expensive drink they have?
>>534515236What do you think he meant by premium experience?
>>534521718$9 is what the biggest 1000 calorie frappucinos cost. A plain black coffee is like $3.
>>534515018>everyone in the US is buying 9 dollar coffee>the country is failingnot too bright, are ya?
>>534516041"The coffee...with the chicory..."
I pay about 20 cents for my daily instant coffeeWtf could be in that 9 dollars coffee, you realise people drink coffee for the effect it has on the brain not taste? Taste is placebo. People wouldn't drink something that had great taste but it didn't give them energy
I'd rather flush $9 down my toilet than spend it on a Starbucks coffee, because at least if I flush it, none of the money goes to Israel.
>I just grow my own beans in poo and it's only $3 Everyone missing the point entirely
>>534514541I never understood the trend.
>>534515148agreed. i make my own coffee. I get 2lb packages of whole beans at costco for 25 bucks and put them in my espresso machine or do pour over. its literally way easier than having to go order it by the cup at a store. fuck that.
>>534515555i had a aero press back when i was a young tard and i thought it made good coffee. i tried it again recently and it sucks. pour over is better by a mile. also aeropress is all plastic and rubber, i dont want to steep my boiling water in plastic.
>>534514541their coffee sucks but you're still paying for itbecause goyim are cattleps starbucks failed spectacularly in israel
>>534521919It's closer to $5
>>534522012>instant coffeeOpinion discarded
>>534523246>ps starbucks failed spectacularly in israelThat's because Jews want everything for free
>>534515757Crying to JeetTube to ban your enemies is the ultimate loss
Actually that’s a very effective and forthright way to defend 9 dollar coffee… look..it’s not $10 dollars, so pipe TF down you stingy bastards.
>>534523631>if you won't pay for 9$ coffee flavored milk it's because you are cheaplike i said cattle
>>534523246They should have used this as their logo in Kike Land.
>>534523756i touched a nerve i see
>>534523727I don't pay for that shit either, but thank God I'm not a Jew
Don’t buy it if you can’t afford it, it’s not like it’s water or electricity
>>534523890Kek, it literally is water
Unironically these companies need to transition to vending machine like devices to remove human labor as much as possible or go under as wage expectations and sales don't match up. Who the fuck is still even going to Starbucks? I can see it making sense if you're a captive audience in an airport, but even then I usually just buy some energy drink in one of the stores instead because I don't trust the niggers running the Starbucks or other food services.
>buy a $9 coffee>served by angry nigger>suddenly worse taste than 50 cent drip coffee>possible loose rings and or spit/semen at the bottom of the cup as well
>>534523631Or, to be fair, Israel has higher standards than the common coffee roasts. Pike place is extremely mid brazil slop that's over roasted to smooth out the lack of character in the blend. Dunkin isn't much better either.
>>5345145419 dollar coffee? Oy Vey, it should be at least 18 dollars.
>>534516714The problem is that shit will keep getting worse and dipshits will live in denial until they starbucks requires a membership to go there like costco and coffee is designer beans for 50 dollars for all you can drink refills for that day.>>534515945kek retard
>premium experience>gays>niggers>chairs engineered to hurt your ass to make you GTFO>burnt beans
>>534514541>you get a premium experiencehandjob? topless? What is this premium experience? Sitting in a coffee shop is a regular experience, so...
>>534524116>Israel has higher standards than the common coffee roasts.What kind of beans you think they're growing in that desert shithole?
>>534523986I would pay $9 for a cup of coffee with Japan tier vending machines as long as it was all written in cursive writing only.

>>534514541https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kbkysPTnHcSocial media has primed an environment where this type of degeneracy is not only accepted, it thrives. Social media desensitizes and radicalizes even moderates into believing heinous and abhorrent behavior is acceptable under the correct context. Spend just 5 minutes on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, you will find hordes of these deranged people. They exist among us. The FBI knows about them but never acts until it is far too late. Western society is on a one-way fast track to collapse as long as social media continues to destroy minds and decay the culture.
>>534518816>>534515284Yeah I have a bag of caffeine and I just scoop some into a glass of water sometimes
>>534514541In Canada I've found some of the locations are nice and some are shitholes. they should price the drinks accordingly. Or just keep the coffee cheap and charge and entrance fee to the nice ones to keep the undesirables out
>>534515236Starbucks was always a no-nigger zone.So much so that when two actual niggers walked into a Starbucks in philly, it became national news, and Starbucks was forced to institute an "anyone can use the restroom policy" that led to all sorts of horror stories about homeless and junkies.
>>534514541just don't drink it if you don't want to you fucking retard. people use starbucks for its social value that they are very good at providing, not for coffee. goofy fucking retard.
I can never decide whether or not drinking coffee is gay.
>>534527609drinking coffee in a gay coffee shop like starbucks is gay unless you are clearly demonstrating straightness like being with a chick
>>534521174>How am I supposed to microwave this?Just put it in and give it a crack
>>534514541IT'S ONLY $9.99 YOU SICK FUCK!
>>534514541Burgersharts love spending money, though....
>>534514541honestly I'm looking forward to them closing a bunch of stores
>>534514541>premium experienceI hate when businesses and corporations throw around this buzzword. Like, I'm not looking for an experience, if I want that I'll head down to the local massage shop and get a happy ending,
>>534514541Unpopular opinion incoming: If retards are willing to spend $9 on coffee then that's what it's worth. Personally, I wouldn't spend the five minutes in line, let alone a Hamilton note on some brown water I brew at home for free; but if some consumerist roasties what to spend that much on a coffee-flavored milkshake, then more power to Starbucks for finding a niche.
