Good thing too. There's one under my office. If that gets targetted, we all GO HOME!! (sorry, slipped into Civil Servant mode there.....).

Besides, how they can charge so much for a few burnt beans ground up and steeped in hot water, with a bit of cow juice in on top, I really don't know.

On the other corner under my building is Sainsburys... does this double my chances of paying extortionate rates for a cup of joe?

Hi Larry,

I bet they're not guarding Tweeks?

KimC, as you say, they do have many other things, but they are expensive! A large something or other(well, a "GRANDE") and a couple goodies can cost more than an all-you-can-eat dinner at Old Country Buffet, including coffee and dessert!

Stand guarding a coffe house and they're bound to give you a coffee handout. Stand outside a bank, they are never going to give you a money handout. These cops aren't fools.

Brilliant name Starbucks - sorrt of combination hippy tripp vibes, but with a genuflection in the direction of the money god.

Our local Sainsburies supermarket you used to be able to get quite reasonable all-day breakfasts, now they've let the franchise to Starbucks, and it's just overpriced frothy coffee. They don't like it when you take in the cakes you bought in the main shop either.

I heard that The Gap and Starbucks are the focus of anti-globalization protesters...hence the beefed up security...hope the cops don't get billy-club happy...

One of my favourite lines from a favourite movie. Fred Willard and Catherine O'Hara telling how they first got together, in "Waiting For Guffman"

"We met at Starbucks.....not the same one though".

Don't worry if it doesn't make sense...you had to be there!

They don't have donuts but they do have all manner of other pastries and sweets.

I noticed cops in front of all the Starbucks in New York on the eve of the anti globalizaiotn rally... at first I thought there was a cop on every corner, then I found a corner without a starbucks! Emagine that! Then it hit me... They are protecting the coffee and doughnuts!!!
Give peace a chance
