You gotta love Starbucks... I know I sure do. They have managed to become the McDonalds of the premium coffee shop world. And by that, I mean it as a compliment. I know that no matter where I am, my favorite coffee request will taste exactly the same as it does back home.
They've also managed to create an environment where most don't mind paying a premium. Heck, Dave Ramsey even refers to the place as "Five bucks"... and with good reason.
