Local drive-through coffee places here are cheaper than Starbucks and they don’t get the deals that a huge corporation that Starbucks has, meaning their profit margins are a lot lower.
Absolutely. There’s a nice sit-down restaurant close to where I work. I go there and get a much better meal for less than I would pay at the shitty McDonald’s half a mile away.
Meanwhile, McDonald’s: Where did everybody go? IS THIS DEFLATION!?
Same for my family. We just stopped going to fast food at all and eat at much better restaurants since it’s costs the same or nearly so. They screwed themselves hard I think.

This has all been about price gouging.

When in all of history has Starbucks not been price gouging
Well for a while, local places were able to rise their prices as well to keep up with Starbucks, but now they’ve realized that they don’t need to.
