One additional comment about the dreaded Pike Place Roast (PPR) from Starbucks. Other commentators have compared the taste of PPR to the instant Hills Brothers or Folger's coffee that you can make for yourself - cheaply - at home. It is hardly gourmet coffee.
So the question arises, if Starbucks is going to offer its clientele a second or third-rate coffee, why not sell it at a discount? A "tall" (small) cup of PPR should sell for no more than 99 cents if the 'bucks wants to compete with McDonald's.
Has anyone in Seattle noticed that there's a recession on?
