Have you been Starfucked? I have. This is not marketing. It is fraud. I will never drink Starbucks again. It is not them thinking outside the box. They give you the impression that you are getting more drink for the money but you are not. Its not “clever”. It is a monumental fraud.
I have been in Starbucks coffee shops and seen the purported “ounces” listed also. It is not a marketing gimmick, it has been done to rip people off and they got away with it for years it would seem.
