I love Starbucks, hopefully they use this idea in all their stores. Even though Dunkin Donuts is a viable alternative, especially since there's one right next to the Starbuck's by me...

They make decent specialty drinks, but their drip coffee is repulsive. Can you guess what they'll be putting in your cup with this offer?

I think it is pretty clear, poison. They want to kill off the people who buy this stuff so their competition doesn't get any business.

It seems like they're doing too little, too late to save themselves. The local corner stores here offer coffee and a buttered roll/bagel for about $1.29.

I dont get it. You can go to Starbucks, pay a load for a cup of coffee and for internet usage....

Or you can go to Whole Foods or Panera Bread for a cheaper cup, and get free wi-fi.

I don't drink coffee, but I would choose these over Starbucks. And I do; I just ate lunch while browsing on my PSP at Whole Foods today.

I am being robbed! The Grand size of the coffee costs 4,70 euros (maybe 5,8 US dollars) in Greece. That's outrageous. Can they charge differently for different countries?

$1 for an 8 oz. cup of coffee?! No ****in' way! Even the little drinks you get in a McDonald's Happy Meal are larger/taller! Now if they were Venti... :P

I'd still take Tim Hortons coffee over Starbucks, although Starbucks specialty drinks are usually delicious.

This is what I was thinking. If people are tight on money, why the hell are they going to Starbucks in the first place?

It may seem like a good thing but remember that somebody somewhere is being exploited so you can get a $1 coffee. I highly doubt Starbucks are willing to accept a profit cut.
