i never thought i'd see this happen. in fact, i thought they'd start opening starbucks in public bathrooms before they starting closing stores.

i used to work for Starbucks. i hated being the person who had to face the public after price increases. i wasn't allowed to be my normal smart-assed self while on the job. i couldn't remind angry customers that, as the person wearing the apron behind the counter, i occupied the 'shit job' segment of the Starbucks corporate enterprise, and therefore was not invited to the meetings where they made the weighty decisions regarding the prices.

i'm getting a perverse sense of pleasure out of this news.

welcome to WfD btw.; 5:41 p.m., February 03, 2008
