Ugh, the price increases at Starbucks? They're just ridiculous, man. I used to go there for a treat, but now it feels like I'm getting less for more. It's frustrating, especially since I'm a foodie and enjoy trying their seasonal menus, but it's getting harder to justify the expense.

Hmm, yeah, it has affected me a bit. I used to swing by Starbucks more often, like maybe three times a week? But with the prices going up, I've cut back to maybe once or twice a week. It's not just about the money, though. I still crave that Starbucks experience, but I find myself thinking twice before I go in. Sometimes I opt for cheaper alternatives or even just make coffee at home. But when I do go, I make sure it's worth it, you know?

Yeah, it has affected me. I used to go every day before my shift, but now, I've started to cut back to maybe three or four times a week. It's tough because Starbucks is like my little comfort before facing the chaos at the hospital, but the prices are making me think twice.

Definitely less frequently. I used to go there for the ambiance and the ethical coffee, but now it's just too expensive for what it is.

Sometimes it gets too busy, and finding a seat can be a pain. Also, some stores aren't as clean as I'd like them to be.
