That's what happens when Starbucks puts several shops right near each other...it was their crazy plans that caused them to have some trouble; you can't blame everything on the Bush Administration Rico. I can see 600 Starbucks stores closing in Southern California alone, without putting a dent in the economy. And can we take 4 years of an apprentice presidency with Barry O?

tell that to the millions of unemployed who walk the streets daily without hope....tell that to them....you people arent hungry because we havent had our second quarter of negative growth.....a recession is as much a psychological phenomena as it is economic....the american people are tired...tired of debt and war....and thats all theyve seen for 8 dreadful years...ask yourself....can we take four more years of debt and war...vote for hope in november

super, i had 1 cup of coffee there, years ago & i thought it was crappy.

so people will have to start making coffee @ home instead of starbucks? big deal!

you can buy 1 lb of coffee grounds for about the same price as 1 cup of coffee there!

ricky, you are really starting to sound like one of those wah wah wah liberal lefts.........evidently the stellar education you claim you got didn't help you at all! why don't you donate some of your "millions" to the unemployed starbuck's employees? i'm sure they would appreciate it greatly!

Maybe Obama should run on reining in BIG COFFEE and regulate the cost an distribution of coffee and coffee products.

There is no reason coffee with steamed milk should cost more than a plan cup of coffee. Maybe Obama could TAX coffee so Americans will reduce their consumption of coffee. He could launch a campaign that said “Coffee consumption is bad for the earth.” Maybe tie coffee consumption to global warming...all the steam.

LOL!!

incidentally...i just received my pumper stickers for the november election in the mail...anyone that still needs theres i found a very good sight.....www.democraticstuff.com.....some very creative items....

".....the way to victory in november is to run against bush...not mccain....we cant stand four more years...." - rickyw

Um, I would think your so-called college education would tell you that Bush is unable to run this term as he's already served 2 consecutive terms. Or, did you NOT pay attention in your government classes?

ricky, all i can say is sh** happens. it's not bush's fault that greedy starbuck's built one on every corner to excess..........

most of the positions in those places are low level entry positions. meaning that all these people that are losing their jobs don't have any real skills except for coffee........so, they go to wal mart, kmart, the mall, mcdonalds whatever.............MOST of these places are hiring as we speak......

don't hear of any walmarts closing down, or mcdonald's, etc etc. a job is a job & none of these people are too good for it.........

btw, government unemployment is paid for by the employer on a quarterly basis for each & every quarter one works. this is not the drain in government resources that you crazy libs like to scream about. it's already been paid for by the employer.
