<Starbucks is a special case because they have a virtual monopoly in terms of national presence as a place for people who don't want to drink Maryland Club.> I like going into SBUX sometimes myself, it's a decent enough environment. I buy the ten buck bags of Ethiopian Sidamo, and brew it at home. I'm high on it right now in fact. But what I don't get is that people are now spending over two bucks a gallon to drive there and buy extra, not the same three dollar lattes and sugar drinks. I'm very confused by that behavior. Maybe next month it will fall off, huh?
