Haha look at this guy acting like that's a lot of Starbucks on one block. I used to live down the street from a Ralph's supermarket. Inside the Ralph's was a Coffee Bean, and across the street was a Starbucks. Then, when business got slow, the market pushed out Coffee Bean and put in a Starbucks. So now you had a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks, and as we all know, that spawns a Lewis Black. I could just feel the temporal disruption whenever I went grocery shopping.

Also as a recently departed 8 year Seattle rez I can attest that the "superior coffee" there is just one more promotional myth about that miserable place

So you were glad to escape the NW?

I guess the main punchline is how the NW is what gave us all the big name chains like Starbucks and also Seattle's Best.

To be fair, Starbucks isn't the only one where there's like 4 in roughly a block



There are soo many loving Subways near my work. Granted, FiDi is a food wasteland so subways flourish like mushrooms on poo poo :shrug:

The franchise fee for Subway is 7,500$. For McDonald's it's like a million. So yeah.

This sounds like my local store. I smoke with my baristas and they give me free coffee--and the Vegas trip thing happened to one of the guys here, too.

Wait, did a poster from E/N just come in here and post her own horrible webcomic and ask the rest of the goons to do viral marketing for her? Did I dream that?

I think the starbucks I go to (800 times per week) near my office is one that was developed by a grant from Michael Jordan. Some kind of business development grant?

tbh i've read every post in this thread and still had to go back and see if this actually happened

it did and my brain was smart enough to completely ignore it
