You’ve seen nothing until you visit Seattle (or any of the other infected places) where they literally have two stores across the street from each other because, like gas stations, you need one on at least two corners of every intersection.

I haven’t been to Seattle, but I’ve hunted around Boston and LA for Starbuck-free corners and that was shocking enough.  I also hunted in New York, but that seemed much easier.  So long as you weren’t expecting spoons.

Happily, I went to a grand cafe in Boston that, amongst many other delights (including spoons), had a sign saying something like:

We only serve coffee in one size and that’s not extra large.  Thank you for supporting a local business and helping stop the cultural disease that is Starbucks.

It astounded me how many Starbucks they could fit into airports.
