I don't care what per item profit margins are. Per-item profit margins on a single item is only a fraction of the story. They might make 50% on a cup of coffee, they might lose 5% on a Danish, they might make 8% on a can of their energy drink. They might make 20% on a bag of coffee. I could then just as easily say Starbucks profit margins are -5% and be just as right and just as wrong as you were saying their margins are more than 11%. I don't understand how anyone who has any business sense would use a single item to describe a whole companies profitability.

Not seeing where I was wrong either, as that is definitely part of their quarterly earnings statements they release every quarter to their shareholders.
