Yeah well, so my queation is: why is evwryone ok with their addiction and vulnerable position being taken advantage of? Kindasorta ๐Ÿฆง

I feel like just a small portion of the price increase is explained by having to pay staff and maintenance + ingredients, rest is pure profit, because they know you're buying anyway and they are counting on it

Lots of people underestimate how addictive convenience can be and how easy it is to befall victim to it. Once you become accuatomed to a higher standard of living (be it not having to brew your own cofee or having a nicer apartment) its almost IMPOSSIBLE to go back. Salesmem know this, marketologists know this, it empirically works and they use it to milk you

Nah, in minds of people I actually respect, buying at Starbucks ia not associated with being rich, its the other way around ๐Ÿ˜ƒ (a poor person either with poor self-control/willpower or intentionally trying to come off as rich)

Not all, btw... Some have risen above needing to care about dealing with lotta stuff with the wings of being wealthy enough ๐Ÿ˜ƒ just saying

Not that simple, think about it this way: if it was easy not to pay then nobody would pay, but people do and sales show it

Believe me, if every of your life was spoken about before it arrives you would complain, because you'd want simplicity and convemience, which would become a form of rest

Well, how do I calculate if the time-money I save on preparing food > price money ai give up for said food?

 

Like come on, people are otraged about the most minor stuff, but somehoe can't be bothered to boycot or change the situation with convenience pricig, where same stuff you buy at a store is 10-20x the price per unit.

"Youre taking advantage of my tiredness, making me pay more of my hard-earned money for the privilege of being too tired to prepare my own food/drinks myself, essentially making me work more hours for having worked too many hours and being tired as a resilt of it. So: making me more tired for being tired already"

Nah, got a few things mixed up here, buddy: people who didn't like what I had to say even though it wasn't a personal attack on them but simple a call for discussion are, not me

Hate to break it to you, pal, but some people would make the opposite conclusion, that is being: you're the problem.
