Poll Shows 73% Americans Think Starbucks is Overpriced

Todd, is it a slow newsday?
Starbucks caters to people that care about the overall experience as well as the product. With the logic presented in your article, we would all be driving Kia's and shopping at Wal-Mart.

Nordstrom is overpriced and yet they thrive. I refuse to buy anything where the counter person cannot speak English or cannot make proper change without using the register as a crutch. I like being treated like a person and not a number (McD's).

And most people cannot tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke, let alone the difference between a French Roast vs. an Americano. So, just like Nordstrom vs. Wal-Mart, Starbucks has a vital place in our society. When a person wants to enjoy their coffee in quiet without the added ambiance of screaming kids on a playset and bright red plastic tables, what are the options?
