That will be the next desparate move.

Never spent a dime on Starbucks 4th-rate overpriced coffee and I won't spend a dime on what is sure to be badly overpriced beer. Hey Starbucks, want to earn my business? How about selling good coffee without tacking on a lot of fake Italian suffixes to the name and jacking up the price to pay for the marketing guys who invent them. And make a freaking large a LARGE, not a small.

Of course they'll have microbrews, Seattle has a ton of them (we actually drink good beer here).

I like the way you think.

Though I'd rather there more Brew Thrus throughout the country

That's good in a way, but that wouold most likely get it classified as a bar and keep all people under 19 out of starbucks, which may even lead to a loss of business. Unless they only serve it during certain hours or something. I'm not up to par with how the laws are as I don't drink or go to bars.

Some of you make me laugh.

Starbucks is popular for a reason.

Hint: It isn't because of 4-th rate, overpriced coffee.

If you want a coffee, it will cost you maybe just over a buck. If you want a frappuccino, of course its going to cost you more. Most people don't go to Starbucks for drip coffee.

Cosi has full bars, at least in the Northern VA and I think DC locations. I don't exactly see the place packed when I walk past it coming home from work.

A large is over $2 here at Starbucks. It's also over $2 from Cosi, 7-11, and I think even McD's.

I miss having a Wawa and Dunkin Donuts nearby. Yeah, it's probably $2 there as well, but it's worth it.

We kind of already have that in Texas, but you can only sell beer in a sealed container from drive throughs. That is because we have open container laws (which I suspect most states have). Passengers cant imbibe unless they are in a chauffered limo, and even that is limited to an extent.

Typical AT'er that doesn't go to bars or drink.
