ok UT - so your point is americnas cafes can't make half-decent coffee to save their lives so starbucks does well.....Logical enough... Here *shock horror* to the distraught of MBAs everywhere its more like jet silvers cafe, except probably better coffee ;p

Real cups, relaxed atmosphere, and fantastic coffee in ohmygod real cups.

Oh and UT - call me a luddite but i'd rahter enjoy my news away from a computer screen most of the time :p man i'm in a bitch mood today

What we are really railing against is change. Today business is short on luxuries like expensive real estate to devote to people sitting around consuming borrowed newspapers and not buying anything. Space is a resource, so in a busy culture where time is at a premium, you'll more likely succeed by volume and throughput.
Is this a good thing? Its sure got allot of people pissed. FUck it gets to me, sure it makes good busienss sense but fucking hell what the pointof life if you cna't enjoy it, do we need to maxamise, rationalise and cost-cut absolutely everything.....

*sighs* Ah well, cafe culture here is as strong as ewver and mroe are opening by the die - die starbucks die!!!
