How Do We Save Starbucks?

re: tablebread-
it's just too bad that Seattle's Best is owned by Starbucks-

Bring in more lavazza cafes, and I'll be a happy man. Good coffee- good price- no distractions.

At least there, you knew where most of the money was going- back into your community. Sure the coffee may not have always been the best- but you could make suggestions, and have them become reality. I think it's a real disappointment that this is even a concern.
