February 19, 2013 Last year, a guy in Texas set a record by ordering a drink from Starbucks that cost $23.60. That record just got shattered by a guy in Washington.
November 29, 2012 We've all proven to Starbucks that we'll spend $4 on a cup of coffee. So it's only natural for them to keep pushing to see how high we'll go. Is there a limit? This could test it.
