That’s revenue, not profits. Still crazy though

Yep. I'd love to see profits after costing in labor costs (hourly pay) and products (milk, syrups, etc.)

A common argument I've seen for defending the extra surcharge on alternative milks is that they cost a lot more to purchase than regular dairy, and cafes are "notoriously" known to have short profit margins. That's what those silly news websites say at least. But I completely doubt the idea that the profit is so low they can't afford allowing alternative milks for free. I believe the cafes can afford it easily. And I want to see the darn numbers.

And the depreciation on the espresso machines and ovens has to be a fortune, plus the maintenance on those.

Oh right. I forgot about those

Actually the price of dairy is artificially low, so it's more like we can afford to give away dairy for free.

Sales is different from profit just saying

Revenue, Starbucks Corp makes between 5 and 6 cents off every dollar of revenue (profit).

i personally don't care if this is different than profit. they really posted and highlighted 100k revenue in a single week and you're telling me they can't afford to pay people better? or give more hours? or hell, even stop the up-charge for non-dairy??
