The city's minimum wage went up to $15 from $13 or $13.50 at the beginning of 2019, boosting the paychecks for numerous lower-wage workers. "It's obnoxious—kind of a slap in the face," Starbucks patron Edward Beck told the Post. "Another increase, and I won't come back."


That can't be right. It implies that Starbucks pays less than $15/hr in NY. SB pays $15 here in Bossier.
Now, they do keep raising prices but not for wages. They give medical benefits and online college tuition (which Schultz calls 'free college for everyone.')

I’m gonna take your word for it, Zach. You are, without a doubt, the board’s foremost authority on all things Starbucks.

And they leave that tip cup out, which is obnoxious. Starbucks baristas are the poorest example of labor affecting price.
