Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol is coming under fire for suggesting buying a nearly $10 cup of coffee is all about the experience.

When asked by The Wall Street Journal about his company’s pricey menu, Niccol, 51, said that “People believe ‘this is a really affordable premium experience.’” “What we’re seeing is that people want to have a special experience, and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you’re splurging,” he said.

”What that means is that we have to make it worthwhile.” Those comments have not been well received, as many online slammed the CEO as being out of touch with the average consumer, who is already feeling the increased cost of living. One online user wrote: “This guy needs to live on the median U.S. income for a year and buy his own lattes every day.” Another said, “These people live in a different reality.”

If somebody's willing to pay that much for a cup of coffee and he can charge that much for a cup of coffee and stay in business, why not?

Ain't Capitalism great!

That said.....For $9.00 their burnt swill better come with a handy.

Libs have been instructed to hate Starbucks now that its relocating its HQ from super liberal Seattle for the far more conservative Tennessee

And taking billions of dollars in taxes and thousands or workers away from Seattle and their crazy new socialist mayor

Im all for workers organizing.

Are you also in favor of workers deciding not to organize if they don't to pay dues or follow union work rules?
