Completely off-topic, but I can't resist. My kid sis befriended a bar owner in
Galveston, where she lives. (I went to a great airshow there last year --
there's the aviation connection!) The guy one evening started pouring a Lone
Star for some lucky patron and then added half a tankard of Shiner Bock. Folks
thought it was cute that he dubbed it Star-Bock, and it became local favorite.
Lo and behold, Starbucks heard about it and threatened a lawsuit!

That's sad.

Starbucks has become the Wal-Mart of coffee shops, to be despised and
avoided at all costs.

They've been one to avoid since their fiasco in NYC during the 9/11
disaster.

Pardon the failing memory of his non-coffe drinker. What did the NYC
Starbucks do that caused the fiasco?

I believe some Starbucks near the WTC refused to give out water for free. I'd hardly
claim this to be a corporate wide defect. The local Starbucks here, equally without
corporate input, supported various efforts like the Northern Virginia blood banks
(people forget that Virginia was also attacked) with free coffee and other stuff during
the emergency.
