Starbucks and the Little Coffeehouses

This is for La Parisienne, CPD, and Noli Me Tangere! (By the way, I just got my first pumpkin spice latte of the season at the local Satan Coffee. I guess summer really is over. But $4.50 for the thing? Priceeeeeeeeey. I've cut back severely on Satan Coffee-ing.)

Oh, and gentle reader: in the video clip, listen to what the independent little coffeehouse owner has to say about quality and competition. Plus listen to the bit about how the free market works -- otherwise known as "we don't need no stinkin' government interference" to stop Starbucks. As if Starbucks "needs" to be stopped, a belief I don't share.
