They raised prices back in 2018 too, in the greatest economy in american history.

Raise prices, more profit, profit good. You guys must have missed that day in Econ 101.
A little lesson for wanna-be Econ heroes with soft science degrees like Kobe...
Raising prices in a competitive market is pretty much the LAST thing a CEO wants to do in order to maintain profit margins.
Inflation and spiking CoGS are THE two external factors that force a company’s hand, in that regard.
Lol.

It is not the last thing they want to do, the last thing they want to do is make less than last year.
That’s the most bullshit use of the word “force” I’ve ever seen. Record profits and poor little Starbucks is forced to raise prices just to continue making record profits. It must be so hard. Their dick in your mouth that is.
Nice subtle straw man to show everyone you don’t know what you’re talking about. Big corps would always rather cut costs than raise prices in a competitive market. Period.
And the Seattle times article only focused on revenues, not profits, as you clumsily conflate in your response.
Btw a CEO’s sole job is to maximize shareholder value. Increasing margins year over year is the goal of every FP business organization in the world.
Why do I waste my time with you?
Those profits are made off the backs of the laborers.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
