dunn@ -- mom and pop coffee shops
It has been my experience that there are more small coffee shops than ever thanks to Starbucks. Starbucks charges for their WiFi. The moms and pops don't.The moms and pops are also less crowded, more friendly to WiFi patrons than many Starbucks.
Net-net I think Starbucks has created more jobs outside itself than inside. The only place I could get coffee before they came along was at the donut shop. Now I can even get decent coffee at the donut shop.
