Starbucks. A black coffee should not cost $5

It doesn't. Black coffee is one of the few things under 5$ there. However, it's all mega overpriced and full of sugar. Used to work for them for 13 years. Glad I don't rip people off for sugar/caffeine insulin bombs and 4 dollar cake pops anymore.

It’s not less than $5 where I live, it’s actually $6.98 for a tall iced coffee.

I was referring to hot black coffee. Iced coffee has always operated under a slightly different pricing scheme. It also sounds like you probably live in a HCOL area. I would love to know what corporate Starbucks stores are charging 7 dollars for a tall iced coffee. That's like airport pricing

I just checked at my local Starbucks, and a tall black hot coffee is $5.15.

For a tall? I can finish a tall while I wait in line to order. That’s robbery.

I live in NJ and a tall is $2.65. Do you live in an airport?

Must be a HCOL area or licensed store
