Spiral, yes probably, but shush if we don't talk ourselves into it anymore it may not happen.
As for Starbucks, it is a coffee shop for people who don't like coffee. If you like Starbucks you are either a clueless American or you need someone to give you a taste of a good coffee. Step away from the frapuccinos too you spanners.

No your inability to compete/adapt cost that many jobs. Should have lowered your prices.
Lol so a self made billionaire and an idiot verbally sparred. Oh dear!

Starbucks had (at least in the US and may be have, don't know) a nasty policy adopted from the US fast food market whereby when you target a new market, you cluster units around existing competitors spreading demand too thinly. Your units make a loss but you are able to absorb this given the scale, when the competitors fold you close the unnecessary shops and are left with the lion's share of the market. Nice

Only time I've been into a Star****s was in Vancouver, and I bought water. That said, I really should pop in for a mug or three 
Starbucks coffee is disgusting. The only reason I go to the one in Borders in Cambridge is because of the gorgeous girl that works there.
I never really knew how or when it came about that people started needing a pint of coffee.

We make high quality vitrified ware not crappy porcelain like they are now. Our ware lasts much longer than the competion which normally gives an excellent total cost. But if scrotes are nicking them it skews the figures somewhat.
We made zero profit on it anyway, the contract was there just to keep the production line going.
Thats the Tesco model too.

HE'S A SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE AND YOU'RE A SLEAZY ****, EVERYONE TELLS MANDELSON
LORD Mandelson has been given a resounding answer to his question of who the **** Starbucks boss Howard Schultz thinks he is.
Earlier this week the business secretary launched a blistering attack on the coffee house tycoon after Schultz claimed the British economy was exactly as bad as it currently is.
But last night everyone in Britain contacted Lord Mandelson to say how much they wished Mr Schultz was running the economy instead of a sleazy lounge lizard and his idiot friends.
Taxpayer Tom Logan said: "He grew up on a council estate, turned Starbucks into one of the biggest brands in history and built a $1bn fortune and you got one of your millionaire chums to pay for your fancy house and then lied about it.
"He has won awards for his support for AIDS charities and you tried to help two of your millionaire chums skip the passport queue.
"He has created jobs for 172,000 people in every corner of the globe and you got a £1 million pension from the EU for doing **** all and now seem to spend an awful lot of time on other people's yachts.
"And he clearly knows a thing or two about business while you were the 'mastermind' behind a political movement which has ****ed a trillion pounds of our money up the wall and driven the country to the brink of bankruptcy."
Mr Logan added: "Oh yeah, and before I forget, you were also in charge of the Millennium Dome.
"So that's who he is and that's who you are. Although you can probably make a better cup of coffee."
Lol!! The Daily Mash pretty much always seems to hit the nail on the head in terms of what I'm thinking.

Really? The only Tesco store that I've known to close was one that sold only toys and clothes back in the 80s.
We used to serve Costa coffee in the restaurant I worked in. Costa are part of the Whitbread group so you'll generally get Costa coffee in all the Brewers Fayre restaurants etc. They were nice brews them costa ones though.
Nice one
Oh, sorry, to fit in with the general attitude, we have to attack successful businessmen as they are evil capitalist pigs with bowler hats and wax moustaches putting another small child on their fire while wasting money...
Why do so many people have such a negative attitude to successful businessmen who provide employment and do a lot of good, yet stand behind feckless idiot politicians who do little other than damage the country (especially in the last 10 years), bend and break rules while forcing us to pay for it, and these are the people that many look to pass their responsibilities on to??
I really don't understand the attitude of a majority of people in this country.
For a vast international chain they set a reasonable standard, while many others are better it's still safely above average. Also due some credit for creating the demand that exists today, the overall standard of what's available has risen as a result.
