Starbucks (sucks) and Blockbuster

[MASCARO at humnet.ucla.edu]

Henry, I am sure, will want to reply on his own, but for my money--they are the coffee 
imperialists of the day.  Creeping corporate coffee.  Just knocked off another little taco 
stand here in L.A. (my fave too, Daddy's Burritos on Bundy) to make way for yet another 
one of those little cloned *coffee houses*--got themselves on United airlines too.  Lousy 
lousy coffee.  I notice here in L.A. they try to get themselves located as close as they can to  
another wonderful corporate engine--Blockbuster video.  Waddya all think of that 
enterprise?  Don't they make a swell pair?
