Dirty dish water tastes better.
They can close every location they have and I would not notice.
Interesting business idea. Closing the underperforming stores will help the bottom line. If some of those underperforming are in areas which are saturated with Starbucks, it’s a win win. Because, in that case, customers of the underperforming location will just go to another nearby location. In that case, Starbucks wont lose any business.
Hopefully its starting to come apart.
But where will hobos to go pee..oh well, back to pissing on street corners
You can’t do that. You’ll be separating the homeless from their bathrooms!
i’d much prefer more coffee shops with much much better coffee.... that you can actually taste, for starters
There’s just too many of them. When I went to downtown Vancouver Canada a month ago, there were 7 within a 5 block radius which was totally nuts.
So are they trying to maintain a 50’ separation from each store. Mmmm that would actually eliminate about 10,000 stores.
But, but what about the homeless???
If any are in minority neighborhoods, hope they’ll be sued.
C’mon don’t give up. Just raise your prices and employee wages a lot more. That should stop the closings.
It’s a cultural thing.
I wouldn’t be caught dead in a Starbucks, ordering overpriced caffeine from some snotty snowflake barrista.
McDonald’s suits me fine - McCafe drinks are tasty and reasonably priced. Dunkin’ is another possibility.
But my kitchen beats them all. I wake up each morning to a steaming mug of Typhoo or Yorkshire Gold tea, with a generous dollop of condensed milk.
You mean I will have to walk an extra half block to the next one for my burnt coffee?
Pee at Starbucks, and ... stay out da bushes!
I am in the MI in a nice bedroom community with all the strip type food places and family owned ones as well.
The Trump economy is smoking here, however if restaurants ( New and Old ) aren't making the margins they close down quick. Holy-moley the turnover is huge, and one that was always busy with good food closed ( one of my fav's ). I don't get it. Perhaps the underlying value of the real-estate and or the owners of said asset have grander schemes that I don't understand...
Oh no........that means 150 less public restrooms.
I’d like to see them go completely broke.
Boss man quitting to run for president. He’ll have the dickchopper vote.
I only go to SB if I’m out of town and nothing else around, no car. Tastes like burned dirt and the snacks are pathetic and everything is overpriced. I really like McDonalds...in fact I get their ground, French roast, at Walmart. Very smooth and very reasonably priced.
Oh no!!!
