Starbucks DoubleShot a Scarce Commodity
July 9, 2008 by sdavis · Leave a Comment
What market conditions would dictate that a person has to go to five (5) different retail outlets in order to find a Starbucks Doubleshot? Are deliveries not being made on time? Have a ton of people recently realized that crack in a can tastes pretty good? Perhaps ~$2.50 a can is a small price to pay to get high?
I had to drive to five locations to find a DoubleShot today. First it was Walgreens. Next it was the first of two Exxon stations. Then it was an independently owned gas statiion. Exxon again. Finally, I was able to locate the prize at the second Walgreens.
Keep in mind that all the other Starbucks products and other energy drinks were WELL stocked in all locations. So I can’t blame this on a delivery problem.
