To be seething about Starbucks prices

[snitchrose168]

I have a starbucks card which means I get extra shots and syrup and cream for free. So if I was was to order a vanilla latte with whip it will only cost me £2.15 instead of £2.90 (35p syrup and 40p cream). Now bring on the festive gingerbread latte, which is latte with syrup and whip. So surely this should cost £2.90. But oh no they charge £2.95 and there is no reduction when you pay with your starbucks card and also there is no reduction when you order it without whip! I am very annoyed and would refuse to buy them, if only they didn't taste so good!!

Seething? Really.

That's outrageous. Burn the place down.

You're seething about 5p difference on the cost of a drink. Buy it, don't buy it, whatever.

Can only assume from your crazy post that you are strung out on too much caffeine. So maybe best to avoid Starbucks all together. Plus think of how much MORE money you'd save.

ah Starbucks... We have a love hate relationship.

Now £3 for a bottle of water at the cinema yersterday evening... that was fairly

Seriously?

Vanilla/gingerbread latte sounds vile anyway.

MN is bonkers at the moment

Ok so seething is a bit over the top but I am miffed. It does make good business sense though. But it's not the 5p difference, it's the fact that is costs the same even without the cream and the rewards card is sold on the premise that you get the extras for free. So why not get them for free with a gingerbread latte.

£3 for a bottle of water :O !! Did you buy it sunshines or leave it back?

:o

YABU. Make your own.

Go tell it to those outside St Pauls

Hmmm, you can afford £2.90 for a cup of coffe but are cross about the extra 5p? Seriously?

I call for - and demand an immediate countrywide boycott of Starbucks for having the bare-faced bloody cheek to want to maximise their profits on their shit delicious coffee!

Caffe Nero every time for me!

No, she's cross because the card she has entitling her to free extras doesn't apply to this one.

yabu to be seething, yanbu to be miffed they don't do the same reward card offer on the festive lattes.

grovel :o

Sharri yes, Louise M was made to look a tad 'blonde' in her depth of political argument.

I can't burn it down grovel, I work in the office above it. So actually I might get a day off work because of smoke fumes.............[off to find matches]

No serious coffee drinker would put vanilla and gingerbread in their coffee. YABU for drinking such a cocktail of sweetness.

YABU.

Costa do the yummy Gingerbread Latte all year round and the (free) reward card gets you free cakes coffee.

I'm not a serious coffee drinker coraltoes. I take the syrups so I don't have to put sugar in them .
