I am quite sure this is not the business model the corporate offices at Starbucks openly brags about but from a financial view point I'm sure they secretly love the margins on all the products sold here.
I stopped here several times during my recent visit and aside from the price point and the fact they don't honor or participate in the rewards program I was thrilled to have this store front in my hotel.
The line can get a little aggravating during peak hours but I found the staff to be very friendly and as efficient as possible while maintaining the integrity of the overly inflated priced products.
