Since I first saw the story on the news about Starbucks closing 600 stores, I've been wondering which of the stores would close. Today, I've got my answer. Thanks, Rex, for linking to the list. And also for being less lazy than me, I'm sure if I actually looked, I would have found it myself. But credit where it's due, and all that karmic bullshit.
It's not that I hate Starbucks, at least not in the traditional way. I know a lot of people who hate Starbucks for being essentially ubiquitous (sp, I know, shut up). I hate Starbucks for a different reason. I don't drink coffee. I don't like it, I will never learn to like it, and now that I'm 35, I think I'm allowed to know my own taste by now. Starbucks offers very few alternatives to coffee. I'm also not a big fan of hot tea, so that's right out. Why can't they sell soda? No, not Italian soda - I am of the land of pedestrian tastes, and all I want is a damned Diet Coke. No, wait, Diet Mountain Dew.
So it amuses me to see an uber-business crumble a tinge.
So there.
