As the Daily News put it, “That didn’t take long.” Essentially, it lasted a week; one wonders whether the daily sales numbers were reporting a sudden drop. Personally, I found the whole thing tedious and silly; but the same article reports that Starbucks – possibly stung by criticism – will be opening more shops in what the News calls ‘disadvantaged urban communities.’ I wonder what the anti-gentrification folks will think about that…

Heck, one wonders if that was the plan all along. Now, if you protest, you’re a racist…..

the liberals hate *grocery stores* in the wrong places. what will they do to a Starbucks? i’m guessing arson, almost immediately.
First write my name correctly. It’s a rather standard name, but they still screw it up 40% of the time.
I just want to order what I can walk up to *any* coffee shack in the pacific northwest and order, and have ’em get it *right* .. but because they’ve invented their own language, they can’t.

And this is why CEOs need to have the guy on staff whose job it is to look him in the eye and say “This is a very stupid f***ing idea.”
