My local cafes are just better, and they’re just as close as Starbucks. It’s not that they aren’t busy, their sales just aren’t growing and shareholders don’t like it when the line doesn’t go up.

Starbucks gives me apple fanboy vibes…

Are we going elsewhere or are we just too broke to grab a $7 coffee every day?

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Maybe because we’re too broke for a $7 coffee everyday so we going elsewhere.

another ,

Or maybe we are just annoyed and crabby.

Good. I hope every single company that took advantage of the inflation by raising prices to the fucking moon goes under.

First McDonald’s falling sales. Now Starbucks falling sales. Hmm… I wonder if there’s a trend going on here.

I want planning to go back to Starbucks but it turns out they didn’t actually sponsor the RNC convention politifact.com/…/starbucks-was-an-official-sponso…

Now I don’t know, coffee bean and tea leaf have a nice Colombian coffee

Omg, the consequences of all the giant corporations inflating prices for the last 4 years

$3/coffee or some shit. Versus like a buck for a whole fkn pot of coffee at home.

Try $6.75 for their new refresher drinks. Flavored water over ice. No wonder sales are declining.

Starbucks used to be a pretty decent place. I mean, your preference for how the coffee tasted aside…they used to have newspapers, magazines, couches and other comfy furnishings, nice seating, the pastries were fresh, pretty damn good, and there was a decent variety. Decent coffee-making merch for sale, too. Their menu was coffee and espresso drinks. None of this choco-frosted-sugar-ice-bomb with coffee as an afterthought - if there’s any in the drink at all.

Now? Cheap-ass furniture that invites you to take your coffee and gtfo. Buy a mug or insulated plastic drink glass. Pastries? Let’s pop those out of a plastic bag. Coffee? Minimal. Now it’s the aforementioned sugary drinks or other fruity drinks that have no coffee at all. There is no reason to go there unless your diabetes needs a challenge.

Literally the only thing keeping me buying Starbucks is the loyalty app that gets me a free bag of coffee a couple times a year. Otherwise I’d go elsewhere. Once the loyalty program stops paying out, I’m gone.

Starbucks wants to be a drive thru paradise

I’ve seen a few of these articles and everyone is missing the bigger picture. Yes making better products will increase sales. However the main point that people don’t understand is that companies are recognizing that their prices are too high to drive sales and as such prices drop to reflect that. Meaning that inflation is shrinking. This is a huge win for Americans and I hope voters see that and vote accordingly.

I go to my kitchen for coffee. Fuck Starbucks.

I get free starbucks at work. It has to be pretty good to make it worth crossing the street to the main campus.

Traffic to its U.S. stores fell again [...] dropping 6%. Domestic same-store sales fell 2%, boosted by an increase in average ticket.

So they had less people come in, and their response was to raise prices.

Last quarter, executives discussed plans to revive the lagging U.S. business that included leaning on discounts

Ah, yes, temporarily lower prices that you'll need to install their tracking app for, I'm sure. They'll use it to dial in the price-point at which each customer is willing to buy, offer "discounts" to just above that price, and then boil-the-frog until it reaches a price acceptable to corporate ...
