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...
