One more thing about Starbucks

Has anyone else realized that Starbucks provides a de facto social safety net in answer to our nation's healthcare woes? All's ya gotta do is get yourself a 20-hour-a-week job slinging java in the local Jolly Green Coffee Giant and-- presto!-- you're covered by the very same health insurance policy as the CEO. Not bad, eh?

Oh, incidentally, today I actually received *mediocre* service in a Starbucks. Yes, folks, the kid behind the counter was slow. And kinda dopey acting. And not only that, I specifically specified *room* in my iced venti drip, and when I received it, there was a distinct *lack* of room. Hmmph!

A tiny, miniscule chink in the armor of the Great Green Bean Machine?
