The good news is that apparently none of the stores are to be closed here in Beaumont, Texas, the shining city by the Neches. It is good news because I dislike the thought of someone losing their job especially in my back yard. Otherwise, however, I have to be *Rhetticent and say: “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
One must wonder if Starbucks would have found themselves in such a position had they not strategically placed their outlets on each street corner of every American city? It is kind of like when I go in the mall and I see five different stores offering Sprint cellular services. How do they make money? Well, that’s a big mystery even though I work with a bunch of economists. But unfortunately I have never thought to ask their opinions on the matter, or most anything else not related to work. Oh well, my loss.
Have a great weekend. And if your Starbucks bails on you, try Dunkin’ Donuts, or better yet, make your own damn coffee.
