Starbuck's is a bully. They offered an aquaintance of mine's friend a sh*tload of money for her coffee shop. She was making money hand over fist but wanted a livelyhood as well. She declined. Starbuck's moved in right next door and the sheep followed. She is now out of business and is somewhat displeased.

It's like Starbucks, except maybe that it sucked slightly less. Maybe.

No big loss.
Diedrich's offers free internet, whereas it's a pay-to-play system at Starbuck's. Even if I don't have my laptop, I'll go to Diedrich's for that reason alone.

I can honestly say I've never had a cup of Starbucks coffee, and don't plan on it. Diedrich used to be great, but ever since they went public they are teh suck. No big loss, I stick to the local no-name for my morning cup.

Southern alert - You said "drawers."
Ha, does anybody outside the South use that word for underwear?
Just wondering.

I remember one time this dude asked my buddy Craig if he wanted a cig.
He said, " Nah man, I don't smoke nuttin' but drawers."

Pronounced more like draaws. :cheers:
