I am sure the coffee is better in Seattle, Alex. I lived near there for awhile in the late eighties, and went to the original Starbucks for coffee. It was a really elegant and refined place, the flagship store, nothing like all the little branches that are destroying San Francisco's neighborhoods. Many people here will not set foot in a Starbucks for political reasons.

Of course, ex-White House intern Katie Mahoney, who was murdered while working in the Starbucks Georgetown store under very mysterious circumstances which may even be related to the Clinton cover-up, had a very much worse experience than anyone who is just mildly boycotting their stores.
