Actually, despite the number of starbucks that show up, I don't find 
them offensive at all. The great thing about them is that they treat 
their employees the way companies like Microsoft SHOULD. Even part 
timers get good benefits there - great for struggling artists... like 
say, photographers. The other thing is that it turns out that when a 
coffee shop moves into an area with another coffee shop the first one 
actually *increases* business. It has to do with signifying a cultural 
area designed around a drug addiction - or some such.
