Starbucks Hiding Cheapest Drink to Make You Spend More

so what. its up to them what they want to sell and up to the consumer what they want to buy.

Not if all items are not on the menu. It's an underhanded tactic to make people spend more, sure they don't HAVE to spend anything at all but most people don't walk into Starbuck's and come out without spending something.

If you're stupid enough to let the propaganda machine brainwash you into thinking you need that swill, then allowing yourself to get addicted to the caffiene/sugar overload, than you get what you deserve.

Why don't they sell a simple iced coffee? If you want you can buy a regular coffee and ask for a cup full of ice instead of spending 5$ for an iced cap.

True, but that isn't the point. The point is they're employing deceptive tactics to raise make sheeples spend more and it appears some sheeples think that's just fine.

Did you know that virtually all restaurants serve tap water, but they don't put it on the menu so you'll buy their more expensive drinks?

Worse yet, the water is usually free.

Those evil capitalists.

Starbucks' popular espresso beverages are mostly 95% MILK and 5% espresso in all sizes.

What's the point of having too much milk to go with espresso shots?

A lot of merchants have deals/cheaper items/specials/upgrades that they will not tell you about unless you ask. If you don't ask, they figure you don't care to know. And, they don't advertise these deals, because they'd go broke if everyone under the sun took advantage of them.

I learned about this completely by accident when I was young and broke. I'd be in a shop looking at everything desperately trying to find the item I needed at a price I could afford. I'd be standing there with a confused look on my face long enough for someone to notice that I obviously needed some assistance.

I'd explain what I needed and ask if they had anything that fell within my budget. It never ceased to surprise me how often shop owners would seek to find a way to accomodate me. I found this to be the case at large chains as well as mom and pop shops (although it was the mom and pop shops that were the most helpful, may they rest in peace). They'd tell me about deals they were not advertising or about slightly flawed yet still functional items that they could sell me for pennies on the dollar (that's how I got my first nice TV, BTW -- the TV had been returned by someone, who'd lost the remote, because it had a small section in the upper left corner where the pixels were messed up and glowed bright green all the time -- I ended up getting a $400 TV for $50 because it had a minor pixel flaw and no remote).

If you go into just about any business establishment, and if you are very nice and sincere about the limitations of your budget, generally they will want to help you -- especially if the person you are talking to is the manager, or better yet, the shop owner. The higher up they are on the "food chain", the more power they have to offer you a deal. And, a lot of people WILL offer you a deal. Most of them have been through rough patches in their own lives at one time or another, so they understand and care enough to want to help.

idiots, noone says they must provide this smaller size cup. it is available on the off chance that someone wants a welfare cup.
if they wanted all theyd have to do is not sell your tiny cup. would that be better?

this is how stupid the people really are.

Welcome to earth, motherfucker.

Not if you're smart enough to buck their system and beat them.

I sometimes get free beverages from Starbucks ever once in a while. The key? Maintain very good rapport with the employees and they'll bend over backward for me. Instant free beverage.

Or maybe I got a very nice, charming personality.

Better yet, don't shop at Starbucks!

Starbucks is nasty. Their products taste more like chemicals than coffee. Don't even think about ordering one of thier hot teas. They taste like dirt.

WTF? Those BASTARDS!!!!

God, what is it about Seattle that spawns all these evil corporations?
Stabucks,
Microsoft
Boeing

you can have kona all week for the price of one of their cups.

Mmmmm all this talk about Starbucks makes me want to buy a Frapuccino... there's a new one 2 blocks away too!

One of the very worse things you can do if you're dealing with your blood sugar, is drink coffee, how about
STRONG (quad venti) coffee, as your insulin level will be as far from normal as is possible. And to ADD inslut after injury, the next worse thing it is possible to do, would be to ingest concentrated sugars, like sticky desserts, hummmm Mcbucks is promoting what? Pharmas must LOVE these guys . .
