Starbucks is teh evil in England now.
They've been "legally avoiding" tax, ie not paying any due to fancy-schmancy accountants. Went down badly among harried commuters. The shops took a huge hit in sales. Oops. Cue "voluntary payment even though we didn't break the law ever, not never." Har har har sez I. Not allowed coffee anyway. (Shel, I gave me card to my SIL - they're off to Alaska this year and she likes their cold drinks.)

I was pleased when I was in Canterbury one morning and the Starbucks took my US issued Starbucks card with $10 on it and deducted whatever the cost of two lattes was in the local funny money currency.

I got distracted above. I really came to this thread to report that I got stuck in a Metro elevator this morning. But they eventually got me out.
