Naw, Starbucks is strictly middle class. The lower class doesn't waste the money, and the upper class doesn't have to pretend to be the trendy professional.

Goths and sorority pledges both tend to be middle class...though usually the sorority girls are a bit richer.

These two groups of girls hate each other's guts, yet they're always friendly to each other when serving/being served. Is Starbucks the only thing that brings them together??

Heh heh...

My oldest daughter was offered a job there. I told her I'd dis-own her if she accepted.

Its a job making coffee, not the SS officer in charge of pulling the gas chamber lever.

Although the job of the SS officer in charge of pulling the gas chamber lever would be pretty sweet too.

No way. The first time I ever saw a ferrari in my city was at a Starbucks. The guy was from California.

I don't go to Starbucks because I'm pretending to be a trendy professional, I go because I like the taste of caramel frappuccinos. If Walmart made caramel frappuccinos, I go there and get them.

Not everyone buys an ipod just because it's trendy, either...I'm generalizing; obviously some customers are just buying some caffeine and not a serving of "Starbucks culture" to go with it.
But the surcharge is still there.

i think you should walk in there and demand an apology from them since they don't conform to your stereotypes.

It would involve less actual work.

As opposed to other coffee shops, which routinely post things like "No goths" or "No preps".

I notice the same thing at the church I attend. I go to a Christian Church, and you see people from all social castes there; from the "I have to bumb a ride to church" to the "My car is more expensive than the church." The appeal is no matter what your status is, you are welcome to come in and enjoy. Same thing with Starbucks.
