Starbucks unveils an ‘aggressive’ growth plan.

“We know what the pundits are going to say,” commented Starbucks Chairman and High General of Retailing in a prepared statement, “but cut us some slack; we’re still a bit shocked to find out that we’ve missed a valuable secondary market.”

“Rest assured, that oversight has been addressed.”

I'm having a problem with Starbucks right now. They just opened next to a "mom & pop". I would rather support the little guys, but they don't take credit cards. I never have cash. The Starbucks latte is much better.

The little guys just put up a sign, "Buy Local". I feel guilty.
