Corporate greed IMO

Big coffee just trying to make Biden look bad

Turns out if you like your transitory inflation you really can keep it.

Inflation is a form of student loan forgiveness right???

They can keep their burnt coffee and horrible food. I don't care how much their shit costs and I sure as hell am not sitting in long lines for a cup of that seriously already overpriced stuff.Bob_C said:

Corporate greed is real.
@hhusky was quite sure that companies eat rising costs and taxes and dont pass them on to consumers.TheKobeStopper said:They raised prices back in 2018 too, in the greatest economy in american history.

LOL Starbucks sucks. Suburban Biden voting housewives and loser manbun proggies and their ugly proggie girlfriends are the only people who go there. Oh yeah, and the homeless. Dunkin Donuts coffee for a third the price or GTFO.

Raising prices in a competitive market is pretty much the LAST thing a CEO wants to do in order to maintain profit margins.
Inflation and spiking CoGS are THE two external factors that force a company’s hand, in that regard. -

Burnt coffee yes indeed. Buying coffee one day at the store and a vendor for another product saw me grab a Starbucks bag. I was young and stupid. Straight up says, "so you like burnt coffee made from over roasted beans"? Damn.Bendintheriver said:

And how many people during the lockdowns 'bought local' and went to their big titty local coffee shop instead of paying "the man" in Seattle? They discovered just how shitty the product is compared to their hometown brew.

In a competitive market, you raise prices you lose sales and have less profit. Pretty basic stuff, slobberer. You do realize that companies have "sales" and print coupons and advertise lower prices than the competition? What phucking planet do you live on? Geezus, when I say negative education, the slobberer is the gold standard.TheKobeStopper said:They raised prices back in 2018 too, in the greatest economy in american history.

It is not the last thing they want to do, the last thing they want to do is make less than last year.
That’s the most bullshit use of the word “force” I’ve ever seen. Record profits and poor little Starbucks is forced to raise prices just to continue making record profits. It must be so hard. Their dick in your mouth that is. -
I hate Howard Schulz and rarely drink their coffee. I'm torn because he's such an asshole and this company tried so hard to be woke. However, they do pay their workers and offer benefits, and somehow it's not enough for the woke mob. I'm happy to see more stores attempt to unionize and tear the company apart, but it just shows you can't cater to the left.

Nice subtle straw man to show everyone you don’t know what you’re talking about. Big corps would always rather cut costs than raise prices in a competitive market. Period.TheKobeStopper said:

And the Seattle times article only focused on revenues, not profits, as you clumsily conflate in your response.
Btw a CEO’s sole job is to maximize shareholder value. Increasing margins year over year is the goal of every FP business organization in the world.

Starbucks is a luxury and a convenience brand, so there is less elasticity inherently in their pricing to consumers. Especially at a low per unit price point.TheKobeStopper said:

A CEO gets fired when the finance/sourcing teams warns them about future cost increases on the horizon and they don't react to get ahead of that. Actual inflation is triggered just by the fear of future inflation.
This whole thing is hilarious in the sense that Starbucks has been on the vanguard of allowing homeless people to shoot up in bathrooms and convincing gender studies majors to work glorified fast food. -

Couldn't be more ignorant. Who is forcing a woman studies major with no skills other than some tattoos and piercings and a 100k in student debt to work at Starbucks? Their labor is worth was an employer will pay them. If they wanted to work for Goldman Sachs perhaps a finance degree and then an MBA from a top tier business school would be a good choice. Or a biology degree followed by medical school. Lots of choices. Fascists hate choice.TheKobeStopper said:

Kobe doesn’t understand that two things can be true at the same time.
You can support the working truckers and also believe a company can make as much profit as the market will allow.
