No offense to those who like Starbucks ...
... but what's the big deal ???
There's a Starbuck's on darn near very corner ...
---Home Sweet Global Monopoly---
Starbucks make us feel ill. With their carfully chosen subtle (but not too bland) colour scheme.
They try to suggest some kind of ethnic liberal charm.
Even the background music has been Starbucked, watered down instrumental versions of Hendrix for example, after all we wouldn't want to offend.
The quirky living room sofa's and tables which are not so quirky when you realise they are identical to the other thousand of stores.
And those thousands of stores, like a plague infesting our highstreets, a McDonalds for the new media generation. virtually every street corner will soon contain that incipid nippleless mermaid.
Their attempts at portraying a modern arty cafe culture, with left leanings are just a caked on makeup, for the neo liberal global capitalist thug that they are.
Destroying land with their farming methods and lives with their wages to farmers and workers alike. Most of all we dislike their vermin like spread, subsidising new stores in order to out price and close down local rivals, before turning entire towns and cities that horrid green. Blanding out any local culture or diversity and helping every high street look the same worldwide.
