I guess people in this city should just be told that their city cares more about the profits of starbucks then their concerns for their community. Truly those are some embarassing and distressing values.

Someone please inform Lars that the prefix 'un' rarely attaches to nouns and most certainly does not attach to 'business.' Reading 'un-business' is roughly akin to hearing nails on a chalkboard. Shudder.
I just passed by that new store this afternoon. If it were not for the vandalism I would not have even known it existed and neither would thousands of other people. The parking lot was jammed. All the tables inside and out filled. There was a line waiting to buy. Starbucks could not have paid for better advertising. Even the black clad spikey kids were drinking and eating Starbucks products.
re:evil idiots-takes one to know one! I'm sure starbucks is bussing in people from the burbs and nw to make them look busy and they'll all go home to their snout houses where they usually drink instant anyway
actually, the line of people was there for the free stuff.
and the dirty kids out front were there to keep the atmosphere one that all starbucks customers approve of--- you know, lots of dirty kids out front being loud and obnoxious.
