    Those yuppies who live on Starbucks are going to be surprised to hear themselves referred to as “lower middle class.” I always considered the term to mean more of the Archie Bunker strata.

    Good riddance, I say. Having a Starbucks there is just crass.

    I work for the evil green and they are indeed closing. They sent an email statement to the stores.

    Why can’t it be outside the city? If you need caffeine that badly…

    This is a very old news (half a year ago). The store is CLOSED already and a new Chinese coffee chain has been open inside the “city” already.

    Glad to see the Chinese bloggers revolt against the right thing: that evil corporation that want to sell them, O gasp, coffee.

    In the mean time, military dictatorship as a government: free pass.

    Also, when it’s about flooding the world with cheap crappy stuff by the containerload while exploiting their own citizen in factories with no workers’ rights, I don’t see no blogger outcry. That’s your cultural identity right there.
