Discussion on:

Is there really a Starbucks on every corner?

When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale there was a Starbucks in a Target shopping plaza, inside the T was another Starbucks and across the street was a free-standing Starbucks, all of which were about half a mile away from another stand-alone Starbucks.... I'm waiting for the time when you go into a Starbucks Mall and all the stores are Starbucks...

Where is this mystical place that is 140 miles from the nearest Starbucks. Is it populated by tea drinkers or just full of Dunkin Doughnut stores?

Where is the furthest point? Looking at the diagram it must be somewhere in the Great Basin. Maybe I reached the point this spring when I was rafting down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.

If you must drink a coffe-like concoction, please support your local independent stores.

...than "coffee-like concoctions."

If Starbucks were only as diligent in paying their due taxes as opening new stores, the world and their Corporate Ethics would be a better place.

Wonder if they are they evading federal/state taxes in the US too ?
