the mystery of the elusive "short" cappuccino.(另起一张ppt)
Economics has the answer: This is the Starbucks way of sidestepping a painful dilemma over how high to set prices.
Price too low and the margins disappear;
The major costs of staff time, space in the queue, and packaging are similar for any size of drink. So, larger drinks carry a substantially higher markup; if some of your products are cheap, you may lose money from customers who would willingly have paid more. in the case of Starbucks, making the cheap product invisible.(另起一张)
Offer the cheaper product but make sure that it is available only to those customers who face the uncertainty and embarrassment of having to request it specifically. Fortunately, the tactic is easily circumvented: If you'd like a better coffee for less, just ask.
