Starbucks will be charging more for its coffee drinks, despite a decline in the price of raw coffee. The company says it's due to rising rents and wages. Jason Bellini of The Wall Street Journal joins Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd to talk about how it might affect sales and whether the competition will follow suit.
