Potbellys coffee

So I always liked Potbellys coffee for it's value. Basically tasted good and strong and it was only $1.10 with tax. I was also convinced they were brewing Starbucks because I've seen several other Potbellys (mostly at airports) that display a sign that read "We Proudly Brew Starbucks Coffee". It would make sense for them to just mass ship Starbucks out to the stores so there wasn't any reason why a particular store wouldn't be brewing Starbucks.

This morning, I went to Potbellys to buy my coffee with my $1.10 in exact change ready and there, on the cash register, read $1.71 (regular Starbucks price). I was so shocked! Just because of the rebranding of the cups, sleeves, and the canister, now, I have to pay $0.61 more for my coffee. That's just outrageous! The coffee tastes exactly the same as it used to!!!

So thanks Starbucks. I am now paying 61 extra cents for your stupid brand.
At least now, I have more incentive to make my own coffee in the morning.
