You don't need a calculator to evaluate money (literally down the drain). The flavorings at Starbucks is very good, in fact excellent. The coffees themselves are a bit better than mediocre. This is because they do not buy their coffees in beans as some chains do and grind it themselves. Coffee gets stale fast unless in bean form. Okay, that's simpler and I do not blame them...
