Buy local. Fo sho.
I wish I could buy local rawhide bones for Buster. That would make him a more organic dog in my opinion. Ok, but the reason for my posting is that I read this article on Yahoo! News.
Apparently, Starbucks will be closing down 600 stores and let go of an estimated 12,000 employees, as a result of our country's terrible economy. Also, there was mention of Starbucks competition. My question is: What competition does Starbucks have? Is there another franchise coming in behind them and taking their overly caffeinated customers away from them?
Apparently, the consumer is not in the spending mood these days, the article reads.
If it were up to me, then I would burn them all down to the ground. Coffee should not be made into a franchise. People are paying four dollar whatever for a cup of espresso and milk, maybe some flavoring, and although both espresso and milk are expensive, it's not really very economical or money wise.
Whatever. People can consume whatever they want. But frivolous purchases are ridiculous to me.

for realz. Starbucks dosen't even have free internet for paying customers.
I totally agree. I try to make my own coffee when it's coffee I need. Stupid boyfriend pays for crappy Starbucks and his family is obsessed with it. Drives me nuts. The guy whose house I'm currently leasing was also obsessed with Starbucks. We have a big poster about how they help the third world. Whatever. They also represent the man and his power over underpaid baristas. Chains suck.
