And nothing of value was lost.

eh… not a coffee person. i think it's kind of funny that they say underperforming, because that doesn't really mean the stores are losing money. they can just use those resources to open more profitable stores elsewhere.

In the U.K Starbucks invaded and killed all the independent coffee shops, fucking pirates (Starbuckaneers) you can argue that they are competitivly priced, but they are not £20 ($45 approx) for two coffees and a muffin! fuck you . I for one will be glad when this souless company goes the way of other fastfood Dodo's, anyone rembers Wimpy's? No nor do i.
