It's real easy to spend $8.00 for coffee.

Well this is why you learn a marketable skill and make something of your life.

39- Not only did you thread jack the shit out of 2, you also managed to make yourself sound like a complete douche. Well done, you killed two birds with one stone.

Op is just under a latte frustration about being underpaid so they came here hoping to espresso their frustration.

At 39, how do you know op isnt in high school or working their way through school. That was extremely ignorant and dumb of you.

Oh man you speak the truth! Except my "crappy job" stage has turned into "crappy job" life.. Oops.

You can blame your state and all the electoral college votes they gave to obama, this isn't just a " stage " it's an epidemic and it won't be cured for a long damn time.

If Mr. Krabs owns the Stary Starbucks.

No you dont. You're clearly rubbing it in! Plain as day

#17, hey, give Xena a break. She obviously getss paid in drachmas and has screwed up the conversion rate. She may be a warrior princess, but she ain't no Archimedes, if you know what I mean ;)

Xena- You would feel for OP if you were the untrained casual that gets 10 bucks an hour where everyone else gets the $25-50.

Strippers make a lot an hour so as an untrained casual they just might lol

How would you know.... I clean cars and can get up to $50 an hour.

About after taxes if making minimum wage, its about $6.50 an hour, if most customers get two drinks thats probably $6-$8. So it would make sense.

Minimum wage is 7.50 per hour the taxes come out of the total check not out of ur hourly rate.. And a large cup of coffee is about 7$ depending on Wut u get 5$ for a medium so her job must just have really expensive coffee or she just felt like bein a whiner

Actually what 27 is saying is correct. If I make $9/hr and I take my net pay, let's say $280 for 40 hrs after taxes, that comes to $7/hr. Minimum wage is different for every state, it's not $7.50 everywhere.

Large coffee for $7? Apparently I must be buying coloured water since it only costs $1.85. How gullible am I?

But they aren't knocking off ur pay per hour they are taking it out with taxes from ur net pay.. Ur still getting paid 7.50 or wutever per hour that doesn't change just because taxes are taken out.. And ya starbucks is expensive don't be stupid it may not be 7$ for a large but I was trying to see how the coffee was more than the girl made per hour.. So either she makes extremely little or the coffee is extremely high.. So let's put this together now

AMAd: taxes are a percentage. Try this on a calculator, (10x.2) + (10x.2)=? Now do 20x .2=? It does not matter when you calculate the tax. Per hour or per the total it is the same.

52- speciality coffees. They are more expensive. Also, go to Europe and by a cup of coffee. It is more like a shot glass size for 4-6 euros.

Well done.

That was pretty impressive actually, bravo.

You could espresso your rage by popping a cappuccino in his ass.

I envy the pun skills of everyone on this site.

I guess you're talking about wannabe hipsters. Real hippies don't like to waste money, and reuse their coffee mug :)

And a lot make their own coffee to save time and make it perfect.
