If only Starbucks wouldn't be, so expensive.

As a US patriot it worries me; the story about the Chinese ex-president calling him up is creepy. Was it insider trading of some sort or simply twisting the hands of our companies in order to be "allowed in".
Outside of that, in this interview Howard sounds like a ice cream salesmen, gone are the classy, elegant ways.

Starbucks I hope has a snob appeal to well-to-do snobs; as I hope the common man is spending his money with more prudence.

Starbucks has a "story" to its enterprise...Apple too...while the overwhelming others have none to tell. Apparently the Apple store in Tokyo remained open to assist people with their cell phones and other digital devices enabling contact with family in their tragic circumstance.

The MARKETING is 'the key' to this company's success. Somehow they have FOOLED the American consumer (mostly ones with Excessive free time)(smart that Starbucks 'employed' their chatter) into 'Believing' that they make a good cup of coffee; when in fact, their coffee is as bitter as urine (I assume). It's a mystery. Like the success of 'The Jerry Seinfeld' sitcom (which was the most stupidest, dumbest sitcom that ever lasted longer than one show. Yet, very intelligent people must have been subliminally tricked into laughing at something so dumb (opposite of clever) and stupid (overly-contrived over-acting) when it wasn't just plain boring. I often thought, 'Jerry Seinfelt' must have been sprinkled with magic Ferry Dust. And I believe, the same is true for the Starbucks movers & shakers (the ones making all the money for crap).
