I was just wodnering whether anyone knew how or were to get hold of the cappuccino machines they actually use in starbucks, like an ex demo one of one that has been used, but is still working??

With Starbucks being closed for 3 1/2 hours today and Dunkin Doughnuts offering $.99 coffee how many customers is Starbucks business are they going to lose for good? If everyone tries Dunkin Doughnuts coffee today and even if only a few people think it is good Starbucks could lose a LOT of customers.

I've been working at Starbucks in my hometown now for almost 8 months but I'm going away to school in August. There is a starbucks about 6-10 minutes away from the university that I would love to transfer to.

Are there any special regulations about transferring, such as age and how long you've been working there? I'll have been working there over a year when I want to transfer.

What was the high and low price of a share of Starbucks stock during the past year? Does Starbucks Corporation appear to have an operating philosophy that is similar or dissimilar to other corporations? Do you think this philosophy is serving Starbucks well?

Why has Starbucks increased their prices? I mean I love Starbucks, but they're gradually becoming more expensive. I don't understand... Their business is obviously successful since there are Starbucks in many parts of the world so why the need to increase prices? I just went to Starbucks today after a long time and paid for a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte whereas before I only paid like around . They have already increased their prices twice in my area. Seems like they're becoming greedy. Some please enlighten me?
Simplegal: I don't go to fastfood restaurants so where does that come from and I don't have to deal with it because I won't go to Starbucks anymore since they're prices are ridiculous. And to those of you who said I've answered my own question didn't understand my question. My question is why are they increasing their prices if they're so successful? Why not just keep the prices low since they already have so many customers? I mean they can lose customers if they continue increasing their prices so I don't see how it'll benefit them.
la la: This is NOT the first increase in prices, this is the second increase in my area. And of course you wouldn't think they're greedy since you obviously work for them! I'm sure you're getting paid really well so obviously money talks. Apparently some of you do not read questions thoroughly.
