That trashy company could do everyone a favor by closing all their stores! It’s Java is putrid!

Hollywood and Western is just outside the chi chi area of Los Feliz. Maybe they need to build a wall... a delightful little garden wall mind you... to keep the riff raff at bay.

I used to go to a McDonald’s for coffee (and only coffee, 3-4 times a day). It was across the street from Madison Square Garden and next door to the methadone clinic. The junkies treated the McDonald’s like their group clubhouse. I’d be in and out all day, and overhear all their personal squabbles and arguing. It was always the same 12-15 homeless junkies there. The head junkie was a big fat white guy who looked like Dr. John and he appeared to have the final word on all disagreements. They’d be arguing about something stupid and he would finally speak up, “That booth is John’s!” and the fighting would stop. The whole scene was fascinating. When one of them would scrounge up enough change for a coffee, they would order it along the lines of “Medium coffee, 12 creams and 15 sugars.”

My guess is that the paying customers don’t really like looking out the window and seeing naked butts spewing waste products on the sidewalk that resemble in color the beverage they are trying to enjoy at $7.50 a cup.

I mean, HOW DARE YOU! Starbucks! These are your peeps that you are shutting out! You helped to create them . . .

Westlake Center, Seattle, Washington

This one is a surprise to me; however, I must admit to not having gone to downtown Seattle for years, decades maybe.

I remember when Westlake Center first opened and it was a high end mall with expensive stores in it.

I keep waiting for Walgreens to jettison their remaining locations in San Francisco, only to followed by a a lawsuit from San Francisco and/or California indicating they are *required* to remain in San Francisco.

OK. Here's our required Walgreen's.

We don't have a shoplifting problem in this store.

Yes. There is no inventory on hand, but the store is open, just like you ordered...

Portland, Maine is Maine’s epicenter for leftist lunacy.

Starbucks doesn’t like serving Black coffee.

Make of that what you will...

“Hollywood & Western, Los Angeles, California

1st & Los Angeles (Doubletree), Los Angeles, California

Hollywood & Vine, Hollywood, California”

***

I know these 3 locations. Hollywood VIne..YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT. Right across was a Walgreen and Chase, and they were torched during the BLM riots PLUS it’s surrounded by homeless clowns ready to riot..

I remember 50 years ago I loved starbucks cause they had a free gumball machines.

I thought you had to be wrong, Starbucks could not be that old, but Wiki says:

Founded March 30, 1971 Pike Place Market, Elliott Bay, Seattle, Washington

Places not even a proverbial Waffle House would dare to tread....

Waffle House was my friend when other places want to muzzle me.

Lol, they went from "there is no such thing as loitering/please bathe in our sinks" to "sorry, we're out of here"
