Starbuck's represent "high-end" obnoxious america. McD's or other fast-food joint is too common-man to really draw their ire directed at The Man.

Gucci stores are for the idle rich that have always been with us but are an insignificant percentage of the population.

Starbucks are for the pretentious, it's-all-about me, loud-cellphone-yapping. earth-polluting, oppressor-man-supporting, Hummer/SUV-driving, spotted owl-killing, whale-eating, not-nice-niks. The ultimate symbol of earth killing excess.
