I've got nothing against Starbucks except for one thing.
If people are stupid enough to pay $5 and up for A CUP OF COFFEE, that's their business. I hear their music collections are nice too.
My problem with Starbucks is that there are WAY too many of them. I don't know if they engage in predatory pricing or other dirty tricks, but they sure do seem to drive the local coffeehouses into the ground.
Luckily, there's a good (indie) coffeehouse near me that has free wi-fi, so I prefer to throw THEM my coffee-and-other-beverages business.
