1 Bump

Are our priorities that messed up, or have we simply lost all concept of the value of our money?

 

Conversion rates for those unfamiliar:

That's approx $5.50 for the Starbucks and $1.50 for the song.

  • cause music artists (ie "rock stars") make millions of dollars, how much does the person at Starbucks makin your latte make? If they're lucky minimum wage? I don't buy music or Starbucks but I agree with Dard that the items are not in the same category at all...

  • The people who steal the music would steal the starbucks too if they could figure out a way to have a latte handed to them for free

  • I bought two lattes the other day and with tip it was 10 bucks. TEN friggin' bucks.
    It actually makes my stomach turn. It is such a ripoff that I am ashamed to admit I paid it. Now, only on Fridays. I cannot justify it.
    I wonder if the every day latte people have added up the cost per month?

  • I support music and do not drink coffee but I think it is a bitoff in the logic. The items do not fall into the same catagory

    So it's ok to steal as long as the person you are stealing from makes more than you?

  • I only drink coffee at work for the same reason I don't pay for downloads. There's a way to get it for free.

    Actually, I haven't pirated music in years. But I do only drink free coffee at work. AND it's Starbucks coffee.
