Wake up and smell the absurdity

After a recent rare visit to Starbucks, MS ordered a medium sized frappucino that cost a whopping RM14.50 before tax. 14.50??! I thought the large version cost about 12 bucks max yo! Since when did Starbucks (or whatever international 'coffee' conglomerate) raise their product prices?? Whislt bitching about the price raise and next year's petrol price increase and consequences, these 2 college looking girls with laptops left the outlet whilst letting the barista know that "Oh we'll be coming back here again tomorrow!". Umm...ok. Where the f*** do people get so much $$ to spend on frigging coffee?!? While I was in Ipoh last week, RM12 is all it took to cover 9 of our Ipoh white coffees from the ORIGINAL store itself! I mean like come on! I think it's time we start to realise just how much money we spend on silly little luxuries like coffee.

This small sized frappucino coffee product that Andrea bought cost RM14.18 after tax. Starbucks calls it 'Tall'.

...where it goes in the end
