Professional bloggers often seem out of touch with the rest of the world. They seem to think everybody starts their day out with an hour at Starbucks drinking $5 cups of coffee and replying to tweets, then heads out to the gym to take selfies for an hour before lunch.
- jcadam 10y agoHa! You nearly made me spew my cheap, Maxwell House office coffee all over my keyboard. Not that I'm wasting time on HN at work, I would never do that...
- na85 10y agoWhere do you live that a coffee costs $5? Around here a grande at starbucks costs $2, and even the fanciest of the fancy drinks costs less than $5. Is your local starbucks charging you 10 bucks for a flat white or something?
- spcelzrd 10y agoJust checked transactions on my credit card. Most of my Starbucks purchases are five dollars and some odd cents. Seems like he nailed it. I'm in Atlanta.
- pound 10y agoI guess it's not just for single coffee. Either couple of them or sandwiches/croissants.
- atemerev 10y agoHere in Switzerland: flat white ~$6, caramel macchiato grande: ~$9.
- mikestew 10y agoWhere do you live that a coffee costs $5 That really wasn't the point, Captain Pedantic. But since you asked, a double tall latte at Starbucks here in Seattle costs me about four bucks. Add some sprinkles and syrup, I don't see five dollars being outside the bounds of reality.
