Dear Starbucks executives,
I just heard the news that you are closing 600 locations in the next year. According to this source, specific locations have not been revealed but the closings will most likely be stores opened since 2006. Also at risk are locations that are close to other Starbucks locations. I must say, I wondered why you built 6 locations within a 5 mile radius of my house. But, I knew that you did it cause you cared about my caffeine lovin' needs. Every time I went by for a fix, there were always plenty of other addicts around so I figured you knew what you were doing.
Please know that I am quite a fan of your product. However, your prices make it a "splurge" item as daily consumption would not make our wee budget. And... well, I guess it's time to fess up... I even have resorted to McCafe for a iced coffee or two. How embarrassing. I'm so sorry to have been unfaithful.
Just a suggestion -- Would you even consider lowering the prices a little?? It would draw me in for more mocha lattes!
And, if you have to close one near me, I beg you not to close the 2 drive-thru locations.
Sincerely,
BridgeMom

Hey Starbucks,
While you're closing a store near Court's house, could ya please open one in my town. For the love of God...we need caffeine up in this piece!
Please get Caroline some caffiene!
hahaha, this is so funny. I am a starbucks addict also and have cut down from 4 times a week to maybe one time a week, maybe it’s my fault they are closing:[ I have switched to making flavored coffee at home and adding flavored cream. It is a cheeper substitute.
-Cheers, Amy
