Calif. fast food minimum wage law will cost you $200 more a year for your Starbucks habit
The Seattle-based coffee giant increased already-inflated menu prices in its Golden State stores this week, after the state’s $20 minimum wage mandate for fast-food workers went into effect Monday, Business Insider reported.
Comparing previous receipts to current prices, items at Starbucks, where each store is corporately owned, have been jacked up by $0.50 to as much as $1.00, BI found.
A spokesperson for the coffee chain confirmed to the outlet that the rising prices in California stores are a response to the higher minimum wage — but declined to reveal the average item increase.
For example, if your typical order increases by $0.80 and you get Starbucks every workday, multiply that by 260 drinks, and you’re paying an additional $208 a year for your daily treat — and that’s only if you get one menu item five times a week.

Lets see about that Gavin Newsom recall now that Starbucks inflation hits.  |
For someone buying a Starbucks coffee/drink per day the problem isn't the $0.80 increase of the drink but rather the habit of buying a drink every day.
