Starbucks prices just went from grande to venti.
The coffee giant has raised the cost of all its drinks, with the exception of the lowly cup of joe, which is now actually 10 cents cheaper.
Under the new pricing scheme, customers who shout out complicated orders to the barista are hit with the biggest hikes, while those who keep it simple see only a modest change.
An extra shot of espresso, formerly 55 cents, is now 70 cents, a 27 percent increase. Adding syrup to a drink has jumped 33 percent, to 40 cents. And those who prefer soy to regular milk in their espresso drinks will now have to shell out an extra dime.
So, while a tall latte jumped only 2 percent, from $3.20 to $3.25, a triple grande soy vanilla latte, which was already an absurd $5.55, is now an astronomical $6.25.
The company quietly announced the hikes in September and put them into effect last week, yet most customers failed to notice the increase yesterday.
Some customers were even smiling as the regular coffee dropped 10 cents, to $1.70.
it’s not even healthy.
This is a tempest in a teacup.
