The higher prices come despite an 18% boost in company profits last quarter.

尽管上季度星巴克公司的盈利上涨了18%，仍然提高了咖啡价格。

Starbucks reported $4.6 billion in net earnings despite higher operating expenses due in part to upping wages and benefits for its employees last quarter, according to Starbucks’ public filings, and it plans to continue to increase spending on its workers.

星巴克公开呈报显示，上一季度雇员的工资和福利上涨，致使营业费用增加，但是净盈利仍然达到了46亿美元。星巴克计划继续增加对员工的投入。

Starbucks is unconventional in its benefits offerings. The company offers health care even to its part-time workers and touts wages higher than legal minimums.

星巴克在福利待遇上不依惯例。该公司甚至为兼职员工提供医疗保健，其销售者的工资高于合法的最低工资。

And, in June last year, the company announced a tuition reimbursement plan. Through a partnership with Arizona State University’s online studies program, Starbucks began signing up employees to receive as much as $30,000 toward undergraduate degrees.

去年六月，星巴克公司公布了学费补助项目。通过与亚利桑那州立大学的在线学习项目合作，星巴克为签约雇佣的员工提供3万美元去攻读学士学位。
