Sometimes I wonder if you're really trying to be funny. "Starbucks sucks because they're so arrogant. Also, they're not good enough for us upper-crust <I>real</I> coffe drinkers who know the difference between good European coffee and American swill. Of course, I've never been to America, but I have a pretty good idea."
So <I>who's</I> arrogant? I fail to see the arrogance behind trying to expand into other markets. If everyone else has your same opinion, and no one goes there, then yes, they'll close up shop. But why are you so upset about their mere presence, if, as you say, they have no chance of lasting there?
