Save Starbucks

July 21. 2008

American coffee drinkers are acting like they are going through caffeine withdrawals in launching a save Starbucks drive.

While, I’m not a coffee drinker, Starbucks is nice, and it’s sad they’ve hit financial difficulties, forcing them to close 600 stores.

Nice work with the economy, President Bush. Not!

Cities, Customers Launch 'Save Our Starbucks' Efforts

Now that Starbucks Corp. has disclosed the 600 locations it wants to shutter, a phenomenon is taking hold: the Save Our Starbucks campaign.

In towns as small as Bloomfield, N.M., and metropolises as large as New York, customers and city officials are starting to write letters, place phone calls, circulate petitions and otherwise plead with the coffee giant to change its mind.
