Biz: We don’t care if Starbucks has breakfast combos now. They still suck.

  • A full meal, only $3.95 Starbucks claims that the cruddy economy has inspired them to do something they’ve never done before: Offer fast-food-style combos. For $3.95, you get a 12 oz. coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Or a 12 oz. latte and oatmeal or a roll. About time they gave into their mediocrity.
  • Price readjustment The company, which built its brand on charging people a crapload of money for a really fancy drink, has tried to change course recently to match the prices of less-cool competitors like Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonald’s. Oh, and they had lots of layoffs recently. source

    Go on and give in to the Green Menace. It’s still coffee or are you too much of a hipster that you would rather go to 7–11 ironically than go to Starbucks? Their Mocha Frapachino is like liquid Crack! I don’t have to go there due to the proximity of an independent, fair trade awesome coffee shop, but I’m not above going and I think I’ll stop by there one morning to check it out. Thanks Short Form Blog, I would have never know about the lastest from starbucks if it weren’t for you.
