If you got spotted at the Fauxbucks on 15th the queens at the indies along that block would roast you alive. Liberty would pee in your next champagne cocktail.

I only go there when they have Chanticos on sale.

Or when my nieces (now both students at UCLA) give me a Starbucks Gift Card.

I'm focusing on the last sentence, in which it's said that this will be the first Starbucks to "offer beer and wine".

First they came for the coffee shops, now they're going after bars?

@3 the kind of people that will jump at beer in Starbucks don't go to bars anyway and since not all Starbucks will carry beer, this will fail.

Starbucks always surprises me that it isn't more evil. Even when I worked for them I was always twisting things to try to get them more evil.

@3 probably they'll offer tequila and hard cider once the Costco initiative passes. You know, the one that people signed thinking it was for Legalizing Marijuana but it wasn't ... the real one was in this week's Stranger as an insert.

All I know is, Starbucks' coffee is the worst tasting I've ever had, and that includes instant coffee and that bulk stuff in cans. Way too strong and way too burned.

I don't mind their espresso, actually, but yeah, their brewed coffee is pretty ass.

@5 I'm at something of an information disadvantage not living in Seattle. In fact I'm clear across the country in an area where wine and any beer with more than 5% alcohol can't be sold in grocery stores. But, by golly, there's serious pressure on the governor to sign a bill allowing people to carry concealed guns in bars.

Yep, we can carry guns into bars here (and parks, and the public library, and even the airport for God's sake, and I've got to tell you, sometimes dodging all those bullets sure gets tiring.

Starbucks continues to be a godsend when you're stuck out in the hinterlands.

Please wait...
