Well, Starbucks is expanding their brand by experimenting and selling beer and wine in their Seattle stores next week. Supposedly, it's to give it a more "European" feel, but I am not so sure about it. I think it will change the family/meeting environment, but who am I to really have an opinion that matters with such a large corporation. Depending on the success of it, they are going to start selling alcohol in other metropolitan cities. Probably just another way for them to make an extra buck, or two, or three, since the mark up isn't already high enough on my non-fat cinnamon dolche that costs $3.80!!

Interesting. I hadn't heard that yet. I recently read an article about the top 10 things you'll regret doing and the top 10 things that are sooooo 2008. ;) Starbucks and $5 lattes definitely topped the list as one of the biggest money wasters of all time. We'll see how well this new concept works out for them.
