I was shocked to pay nearly 7 for a Starbucks coffee- but people slammed ME for buying from the chain [Video]

A student claimed she ‘nearly had a heart attack’ when told her Starbucks was £6.75 – only to be slammed by social media users for buying from the chain in the first place.

Sophie Greenfield, who lives in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, was ‘shocked’ after being charged £6.75 for a large Crème Brulée Iced Brown Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso from a Starbucks in Wellingborough, North Northamptonshire, last week.

The 25-year-old popped out for a takeaway drink while she was house sitting and decided to try a coffee from the Starbucks summer menu which launched in April.

Forgetting to check the price, the student was surprised to discover the ‘ridiculous’ cost but felt too ’embarrassed’ to change her order so forked out the money anyway.

Taking to TikTok, Sophie filmed herself sitting in her car with the takeaway espresso captioned ‘£6.75 for a drink is disgusting’, which has now gone viral with 93,300 views.
