Maybe we need to close some McDonalds, got too many in Chicago, one on each block! People stopping in to get coffee and whatever.
Normally I drink coffee maybe 3 times a week especially in the morning when I didn't have enough sleep the night before.
Maybe McDonald's, being something of a horse of another color compared to Starbucks, does a better job of marketing, etc; they might be more successful because there are individual franchisees and that's enough incentive to be successful whereas I don't think Starbucks has individual franchisees; I believe they are 100% company-owned.
Excuse me just a second while I refill my coffee mug with my Kona-blend coffee. I grind my own so that it's fresher. I religiously drink coffee daily but only imbibe a couple of mugs.....part of my moderation in all things....LOL...
Right on campus, huh, Jillio? Man, but aren't they just everywhere?

I think you raise an interesting point there. Wonder if profs would buy it but as there are many more students than profs, it'd make sense not to price yourself out of your market.
NOPE, don't drink the stuff
Made an personal decision in my early teens not to drink coffee because I didn't want to become reliant on caffeine. And I have seen how caffeine affected some people around me.
Like hot chocolate, though, but now rarely drink them.
Starbucks does make really good hot chocolate. I like it in the winter.
