Okay, I am just going to make one (maybe two ) shot on my espresso once I type this.

Unfortunately I am using imported beans from the supermarket . Forgive me!

Since my local Starbucks closed (near to home) I have kept an eye on its storefront. Wouldn't you think management would have ensured the SB signs were removed to reduce the post-closure embarrassment?
They have made no attempts to save face whatsoever.
Meanwhile, their locally-owned clone, the just-as-awful Gloria Jeans, takes their Westfield chain-store clientele.

(I once visited this local SBs at Westfield and ended up going somewhere else as it seemed all too much trouble for a simple Long Black. Don't even start on their deal with the devil for PAYG wireless internet ). Time to tamp some grindz!
