From the desk of Jane Galt:There have been a lot
There have been a lot of dumb corporate decisions in history. But somehow you knew that the dumbest was going to have to come from the same chaps who located two of their stores on either side of my building: one between 93rd & 94th, and one across Broadway between 94th & 95th. No, I am not making this up: they have two full service stores a block from each other. It gives whole new meaning to that immortal analyst pitch "It's like the Gap with coffee!"
[That's a little -- heh, heh -- in joke. The Gap is in trouble because they massively overexpanded when they were hot, and then had to retrench. -- ed.]
Yes, the folks at Starbucks have outdone themselves this time. I don't know whether they thought it was hip, or they just didn't notice. Either way -- dumber than a bag of hammers, folks.
