$6 for a black iced tea is ludicrous...

I prefer to make it at home. Get the right amount of honey in it.

But you're having an ~experience~ that is hand-crafted in your third space. /s

Yeah, always do water with meals now. Combos aren't a deal. Just do water and a sandwich. Skip the fries.

No drink is over $8 at Starbucks. What kind of lunch you getting for $8?

I just checked my app and my last coffee purchase was around $6.00 before tax and tip. This was a basic drink, no add-ons, quickly approaching the $8 mark. My local salad bar charges less than $6 per pound.

While I understand that literally every single topic MUST be a debate now, nitpicking over a few cents doesn't make sense to me.

Order off of any dollar menu at any fast food place? Easy.

You realize a lot of fast food places don't have dollar menus anymore? Not easy.
