As a treat, I decided to pick my tired wife up from work this morning, and she wanted a breakfast sandwich, and cup of coffee...but was too tired to go to a restaurant, so she wanted to go to Starbucks, as she has put in a ton of hours at the hospital. Well, two medium or "grande" according to the Starbuck girl, and two breakfast sandwiches was just under 17.00 dollars., and to top it off....the food tax in Dekalb Illinois is now 10%. This is the last time I ever spend this type of money for two sandwiches, and two caramel machiattos. Sorry Starbucks....I will no longer darken your driveways. My wife predicts they will close shop in a year with these price hikes......we shall see..al
