Just think about how many people you told about the 15 dollers that you got. It is just the right amount that people still care when they recive it. if it was 5 it would make the look cheap. ten is nice. but 15 really makes them stand out. But then maybe thats just my opinion. becasue they get 15 dollers of worth of word of mouth advretising. Just think about how many people you told about the 15 dollers that you got.

But, since we have no other real choice (if we want a fast & nice) coffee then it is nice of them to give the $15. why should i feel fooled / hate starbucks? because they overcharge consumers in the first place, this is just a way for them to continue overcharging you.
