FYI, if you're referring to Starbucks as SBUX to anyone other than your stockbroker, you're a [censored] [censored].

guids, I think you're confusing yuppies and hippies. Pretty sure hippies are the ones who frequent the neighborhood coffeeshops, and wouldn't be caught dead patronizing the evil megacorporation Starbucks.

Here in SF hippies hate Starbucks and insist that neighborhood coffee shops (and in a pinch Peets) are the way to go.

Have you ever met the chairman, Charles Shultz, and if so, why did he give up on the Sonics and sell them to a hick from Oklahoma who is going to move them back to Oklahoma City?

When I worked in the city (Manhattan) a 16oz. coffee on the street was $1.25 (or 1.56 for 20 oz) a 20oz. at SBUX was $2.08

So starbucks cost 33.33% more but was IMO much better quality/tasting coffee and I got to add the milk and sugar myself so I always ended up with the perfect cup.... easily worth the extra 52 cents to me

seriously? this blows my mind. Alright, I take EVERYTHING back, folgers is about 3.6 cents per cup, I am now fully prepared to buy a 1.60 cent cup of coffee, spending about 50 times more per cup than I should, just to stick it to the hippies.

quids,

"spending about 50 times more per cup than I should"

It's weird that you keep saying this. How are you able to handle going out for drinks or eating at a restaurant?
