Closing Starbucks causes caffeine headache

The Fresno Bee's front page story about residents rallying to save a Starbucks made me furious.
As of last week, about 180 people had filled out comment cards to keep the Starbucks at Marks and Herndon avenues open.
Really? Truly? With everything else happening in the world -- hunger, war and the economy -- people feel like galvanizing their support for a Starbucks? For the freedom to quickly down an iced macchiato?
The Bee's Mike Osegueda wrote a column that reflects what I think.
I admit that I hit up the coffee chain once in a while -- usually for a more-reasonably priced drink like an Americano -- but I can't fathom going to bat to keep one open.
Kudos

I can't agree with you more. Thanks for a great rebuttal Jason.

I am with you
It seems pointless to try and save the location. Why is there such a big hoopla about that one in particular? Can people not go a few blocks down the road to another? Jason, I agree about the Americano, very tasty with a little half & half.
