We rejected Starbucks because of the horrible coffee. I mean, seriously - have you tasted it?

pretty sure its because we appreciate good coffee

-
Or maybe the old-fashioned idea that our neighbours are more important than anonymous corporate entities...

That is definitely not it.

Starbucks is definitely (unfortunately) back in Melbourne.
-
Sydney as well
-
Still hanging on in Brisbane, too. I think it’s mainly tourists who go there, though.
-
Not actual Starbucks though - revenue was too low, the company left Oz and licensed the brand to 7-eleven.
-
Oh really? Good for 7/11 I guess, people do seem to be going to the Starbucks cafe near me
-
But has the coffee improved? That’s the question.

Although I love the feel of paper, I also love the way I can download 10 books at midnight and read until my eyes bleed.
