Thats how they made it as a company! Why do you think they have so much money because they sell a $.25 cent cup of coffee for $5.00!!!!!

Well a venti coffee is closer to $2 in the midwest, the money is spent on those smiling faces behind the counter. Decent healthcare and some of the best training dollars spent on its employees. Its interesting what Starbucks ad budget is, when was the last time you have seen an ad for starbucks? I happen to really like starbucks coffee, so I appologize if present an image of trying to be something. If they get enough competition from other sources they will trim here and there but if you're looking for a CHEAP cup of coffee there are other options.

Because they can. On the rare occasion that I go to Starbucks, I get a single shot of espresso, and go fill up the rest of the cup with milk or cream from the fixins table. It's nearly the same as those fancy drinks at a fraction of the price. Most of the time though I just make my own coffee at home, and add a dollop of whipped cream if I want something a bit fancier.

Because SOME people are gullible enough to think that carrying around the Starbuck's name makes them "cool". I have found several other places with the SAME product for almost 1/2 their price. $.25 for an extra shot NOT $1. RIP OFF!

$5 a cup speaks well of Starbucks' selling power!
Now with all "your" buying power, why are you paying $5 a cup?

They feel like they get luxury in a cup, or they need a picker upper and they dont have the time to make it themselves
