Starbucks closing 600 stores. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25482250?GT1=43001After all the hullabaloo earlier in the year about how to regain business. You fail. You shouldn't have charged for wi-fi when everybody else gives it out for free. Greddy dumbasses. |

I think the pretentious people who go there and stand for ten minutes waiting for a coffee and then pay nearly $10.00 bucks for a freakin cup of coffee are just as bad. What is the big deal, it is only coffee.  |

What is the big deal, it is only coffee. It's *feces* coffee anyway. I don't know about pretentious, the Starbuck$ out where I live is mostly frequented by Tradies, Bogans, dumbasses and *8==>*heads. If you wear a suit into one of these places they look at you funny, because you're not wearing either: a) a flouro high vis vest b) tracky dacks c) moccasains I once tried to explain to one dumbass the concept of jazz and being about the notes they don't play. The blokes head just about imploded. |

Are you telling me, that you actually go into these places wearing a suit, and then try explain jazz music to people.  What else do you like to do in your spare time twoiron.  |

The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, *trollop*s, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, *8==>*heads — they all adore it. They all think it's a righteous place. |

Hopefully the one by my house isn't on the chopping block. Where will I finish writing my screenplay?

Pretty sure the erotica and screenplay writers will be OK, but I'm a little worried about the cops in SE King COunty, Wa where Starbucks has replaced the donut shop or a diner as a midshift gathering place.
Those guys are CLEARLY overpaid...
