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.
