Java panic: Starbucks closing all stores Tuesday evening
While Starbucks restores "the art of espresso," latte-sipping blue-staters might have to slum it at Dunkin' Donuts.

  • Is he joking?

    "...one of the results has been stores that no longer have the soul of the past and reflect a chain of stores vs. the warm feeling of a neighborhood store."

    Obviously, that's because Starbucks IS a chain of stores which has caused any number of neighborhood coffee shops to go under when the Wal-Mart of coffee moved in across the street...and down the block...and down the block in the other direction. He's gotta puzzle this out?
