The CEO of Starbucks actually said this...

I found this quote from Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks online: "Our customers are not turning away from Starbucks because they're unhappy or they have lost faith or they don't like the experience... They just do not have the disposable income to come as often as they once did. They're either not coming as often, or cutting out the occasion - having coffee in the office, having coffee at home."

OK, now if he actually believes this, I'll offer to buy him a cup of bold coffee at Peet's.
