the problem for me is that thinking a cd is appropriate or not should not be their business they just sell coffee
They don't just sell coffee.

They sell coffemakers, cups, tea, games, AND music!!!

And it is entirely their business to decide what is appropriate for their store and what isn't. It is their store, their philosophy, their culture, their marketing concept -------- it is nobody's business but theirs

ok .. I think then my freedom is to boycott their philosophy and what they sell in their shop ...and I wouldn't buy a cd in a coffee shop anyway ... and I hate coffee

What to expect from a shop that change its logo because of nipples ....

Well, this is only my opinion, and I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but their coffee sucks. When I ask for a cappuccino, what I get in a Starbucks is what I'd call a latte. Way too much milk - it's all out of proportion. So I don't go there much anyway.

absolutely!! If you don't agree with the Starbucks concept, by all means don't shop there! Don't we all do that in a way?

I don't buy products from certain companies because they do animal testing - my choice, my liberties!

Starbucks didn't CHOOSE to change their logo --- they were MADE to change their logo!!

ask for a DRY cappuccino then but yes, their drip sucks.

(can you tell I am a huge Starbucks fan? )
