I was travelling on I-95 between PA and ME on vacation, and all you could find at the service plazas were StarSucks. For a plain ole cup of black coffee they were charging $3.50 per cup. Worst part is, their coffee sucks!

It only costs a buck fifty here for plain coffee. Maybe rest stops are just more expensive.
Drink WAwa it is cheaper and you have choices.
No one forces you to drink starbucks.
Vending machine coffee-ugh! You can almost taste the mold and bugs in it.

STARBUCKS is to the young and hip what WALMART is to the lower class and poor. Their coffee is crap. Most of it is sugar ladden, and if they heated up kool-aid and said it was Brazilian Blue, the line would be out the door. Starbucks starves out small coffee shops just like Walmart shuts down small companies. Did you know that Walmart put an American institution, "Rubbermaid" out of business by buying cheap products from China. And that is just one example. These two companies do not care WHO they put out of business as long as it increases their bottom line. When your job goes to China or India, and it WILL happen, you can thank Starbucks and Walmart. Idiots! And PS:you want good coffee,order online "Torrefazione Italia coffee" from cooking.com.Now THAT is coffee.

I hope the summer makes it too hot for people to buy starbucks in the machine.
Not a fan of Starbucks (or coffee) and already get charged too much for anything to drink in the machine. Hate to have the prices raised because the new stuff shows "how much the market will bear" to be charged.
I'm sure the new machines will take some form of Electronic currency too.

GREAT !!!! Now if I ever leave the house again I'll look for one of these to have a treat to celebrate that I finally went out again !
Maybe I'll install one of these machines in my so-called 'sunroom' !
I love their latte's and specialty coffees - usually celebrate the holidays by having a treat a few times.
What is wrong with shopping at Wally-World ??? When neither person has a job and there are house payments up the ying-yang, Walmarts clothes are just right !! If you look at the prices of the clothes or appliances in catalogs, the price is double or triple what Walmart charges.
Ok - I do NOT condone their practices and 'politics' - but if I need a new crockpot or some shorts - I'm going to the nearest Walmart where I can afford to buy it AND they are open all night so I can go when there are few people there.
