so the Starbucks rebranding is true. Wow! Thanks for the best wishes Jeremiah...
can you believe that stealthy move? very creepy, if you ask me. (glad you're back up and running...)
Stealth Starbucks is a sign that most people are tired of feeling a lack of character and originality aroud them. People are sick of everything being the sames.
However, these are still corporate run places that will always lack character. The thing they just don't get...It's not about IMAGE, it's about the people who run the place, the uniqueness of it.
