Too Many

Heard on the TV news this morning that the Benicia city council has taken up an ordinance aimed at limiting the number of Starbucks locations. Interestingly the TV report included a tidbit that the linked newspaper article omits. Seems the mayor owns one of the local coffee houses. Interesting.

I find this issue (and similar measures here in SF) highly silly. You don’t like Starbucks or any other chain? Don’t patronize them. If enough people quit buying, they’ll get the message and stop expanding. Personally, I’d be really happy if there were fewer people in line when I’m trying to get my coffee.
