You might want to trade in that half-caf soy blended latte for a regular cup of coffee. For the first time in the coffee giant's history, Starbucks will be slashing prices. A "tall" coffee will cost $1.50, down from $1.75, and most cappuccino and latte concoctions will get a 10 to 15 cent discount. However, not all Starbucks addicts are celebrating. The more complex drinks, like the addicting Frappuccino, will be up to 25 cents more expensive. Maybe that's what's going to pay for all their new locations in NYC. One anonymous commenter pointed out on Starbucks Gossip that these price drops still leave the drinks more expensive than they were just four months ago, predicting "Customers are going to like the decrease I guess (although not back to original prices on some beverages) but they are going to be left extremely confused and upset that for 4 months they had to pay all that extra." Whatever, everyone knows America runs on Dunkin Tim Horton's.

"...they are going to be left extremely confused and upset that for 4 months they had to pay all that extra."
Since starbucks customers are already content with paying a premium for coffee that tastes like goat ass, a few extra cents won't make much of a difference.
I didn't realize goat ass tasted burnt.

Strange, coffee futures have been soaring of late but they can cut prices? Total admission that their junk was way too expensive to begin with.
considering coffee is second only to petrol, yes. way too expensive.
What fraction of the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks actually covers the cost of the beans? I bet the paper cup costs more than the coffee (before roasting). Most of the cost goes to things like rent and labor.
I'll stick to my 50-cent coffee from the bakery on Manhattan ave.
who the hell is jaya sexa?
I hate coffee. I hate coffee culture and coffee shops. I hate restaurants that automatically think I want coffee when I sit down, or that will give unlimited coffee but charge when you want more coke. I hate people who flaunt their coffee addictions, or who walk around in public with their personalized 40-ounce coffee mugs. I hate coffee breath (yet I like the smell of coffee itself -- go figure). And I really hate news about Starbucks.

Can they also switch to a "large, medium and small" language like a normal coffe shop? I so hate getting corrected by the trollistas, "Um...you mean Venti." Um. No tip for you.
that coffee wasn't even that expensive. it's the frapps and shit dumbass women and gays get that blow the roof off that motherfucker.
No lie. Every time I duck in a Sbux to get a quick coffee, I'm stuck behind a huge unmoving conga line of uptight stroller mom-type broads waiting on their bizzaro coffee drink creation. Drink it black you pretentious hags, black is the new black.
