Why do you think Starbucks' cost of doing business is going up in such a bad economy? Do you think they'll get less business? Why?

Learn how to spell everything
My ass is broke how are they gonna raise the prices on us with this economy.=/
yea thats true forget the coffe there is more importanat things
I wont care about starbucks i really never go there
yes people can do that but starbucks very well knows that they have people addicited to their coffe so they take advantage of that and raise the prices many well pay twice just because they're addicited
Your trying tooo hard.lol
-Peace.<33
hahaha
but to me i really wouldnt buy it or look at it so...
Waht a contradiction there
what he did was 2 make a couple extra bucks. it has nothing 2 do with the NFL.
yeah that's all true and all but, we need muscle too, and well economic principles people will always seek the bigger better objects that's just how people are, as long as we have pride people will never get anywhere
he is an alternate now.......
there not even going to use him, they got him so they can trade with a team that has who they really need
We need to keep the circulation of money flowing!
That's what I think. But I don't drink starbucks so I don't know really what the people are going through when they're buying starbucks.
i agree with u 100% on the issue of him getting another chance because look at it this way if vick was some regular citizen nobody would care or even want him to serve jail time but because he is famous and black he should be punished vigoursly... most people do not even understand the entire situation so they give an unfair statement.. but i agree with u all the way.
But, yeah, let him get a second chance if he's good at it. But if he's getting paid that much money, he better have a large amount of income tax. Like 50%!!
"Michael Vick should not be allowed to get back into the NFL. What he did was very wrong. He should not get paid after what he did. HE should still be in jail after what he did"
to chrisatian
"i disagree with u completely and just like everyone on espn was talking about. its not a major offense and just because he is famous thats why ppl even care. if he wasnt a superstar he would have been out of jail sooner than he was and nobody would even hate him for it. for u to say he should still be in jail is prejudice and unfair..."
Anthony: "in regards to the micheal vick issue, i think he should be allowed back in the nfl, but i dont think he should be allowed to play so soon. i believe he should have to wait at least 1 full season before hes allowed to gain a playing positrion."
Christian: "Michael Vick should not be allowed to get back into the NFL. What he did was very wrong. He should not get paid after what he did. HE should still be in jail after what he did"
I dont not believe he should sit out a whole season. dude did his time and he payed for what he did he has been out of the nfl for two years now and i think if he sits out any longer its a waste of talent. he already has to miss the first two preseason games and could possibly miss the first 6 games. This is his last chance and with a mentor like THE GREAT TONY DUNGY he will not screw this up he is a changed men. if you two havent seen the video of him on 60 mins then go watch it you can tell he is changed. and for all the people who think he is getting payed so much he really isnt getting payed that much you have to remember he was the highest paid Qb in the nfl b4 he was put in jail and all the debt he owns he will be making next to nothing these tow years. So i say you do the crime you do the time and he has done what he needed to do to get back into the nfl.com
TOYOTA!
Well i think this is so dangerous because what if we crash with a big truck we are going to end up flyng away in the free way and what if the big truks can't see us because were so small like thats really really dangerous...!!!
Or just go to Mcdonalds and get a McCafe.
i dont think its fair for us to spend more money on just a dumb drink just because our economy is bad!!!
i think your right its stupid for them to raise their prices and especially so soon.. since they are raising prices thursday then we should go get a some coffe together before we have to pay more =]
Micheal Vick is not a very nice man for doing that to animals but everyone in life needs a second chance. And he got his. =]
i disagree he is not a mean person he just made one stupid mistake
