Why are they poor? It's probably because they don't have a job, they don't have an education, or they made a big stupid mistake! This woman earns ALL of her money, she can choose if she wants to keep it, or if she wants to give it to the people that didn't bother to make their own money. Just think about that...........

You're cheating a system , no matter how over priced. It's like walking into Tiffany's and expecting to pay less than 100 for anything!

Cause if coffee 2 times a day is at the top of your "worry" list then.... sh*t I want your problems.... one last thing!!! maybe if you cut your starbucks run to once a day you would save money… it’s not healthy and if 80cents a day is such an issue maybe you should review your priorities a little more… Cause if coffee 2 times a day is at the top of your “worry” list then…. sh*t I want your problems….

We have a customer who comes in and orders a drink (can't recall off the top of my head but when I see her I know it)... For an example I'll just say she orders a tall 3 pump vanilla, latle with her shots on top and carmel drizzle... THAT'S A CARMEL MACCI. (I'm horrible at spelling...) Now the way she says it make is cheaper then ordering a tall carmel mecc. and she will fight FIGHT FIGHT until she is blue in the face (mind you she was my first customer ever on the reg. when I started)... I can appreciate wanting to save money... I can... But COME ON!!!! You take up twice as much time ordering that long winded drink and fighting over the price just to save 30 cents (mind you this isn't her drink it's just an example...) and then to top it off instead of buying a bottle of water (which some money does go to the hungry)... she asks for a cup of water... COME ON!!!!!! THIS IS also the same lady who!!!!! My first day... (I've been there over a year and half now)... I closed the reg. and forgot to give her the change... she waited and held up my line for another 5 min to get 3 cents back...... and then didn't leave a tip... Some people are just cheap... and so do I think miss thing ordering her skinny cin dolce should get a discount... NO!!!! because we are making your drink the same way we make everyone elses cin. dolce!!! I don;t stick up for starbucks much... especially now with all teh cuts and more drinks and BS, but!!!! I will say this... we try our hardest to make your experience a nice one... and the least you guys could do is be a little nicer and understanding... WE DON'T SET THE RULES OR THE PRICES!!!! WE JUST MAKE THE DRINKS AND SMILE!!!!!!! THIS ISN'T MEANT TO BE BITCHY OR GO OFF TOPIC, BUT COME ON PEOPLE... IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SAVE MONEY GOT TO MCD'S THEY HAVE NEW DRINKS... GO TO DUNKIN OR THE LOCAL GAS STATION... I WORK THERE AND I DO!!!

If she wants to pay for an overpriced Latte, then more power to her. Hell, if she was nice, I'd probably give her the Cinnamon Dolce free.
