This news struck me, since a) every Starbucks I've ever been to (and it's been a lot across the country) has been busy and b) their margin on cost of goods sold has to be through the roof.

How in the hell do you not turn a profit when you're charging $4 for a damn cup of coffee and you've got lines all morning waiting to buy?

If that business model doesn't work, then our economy is screwed more than we realize.

Thanks "Ethanol Lobby", you single handedly managed to F up the US Economy *and* starve the rest of the World.
