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.
@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.
@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.
Or when my nieces (now both students at UCLA) give me a Starbucks Gift Card.
First they came for the coffee shops, now they're going after bars?
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.
