Canadians will actually have to leave the house if they want to restock their favourite Starbucks products and merchandise from now on.

It also means customers will now be subjected to limited availability, not to mention “prices of products previously sold on Store.Starbucks.ca may vary from prices of similar or identical products currently sold in Starbucks stores.”
