And I thought my job was cool...

In the latest issue of Fortune magazine, there is a pretty mind blowing article on a guy named John “Winter” Smith who is attempting to visit each and ever Starbucks location.  I find myself joking frequently with friends that there must be a building code in Seattle decreeing you should not have to walk more than 50 feet to find a Starbucks--sometimes less.

This guy is pretty cool.  He's set up his own site at http://starbuckseverywhere.net/  My favorite quote is a note about a store he visited in Bellevue, “By the time I visited this store, in late 2001, there were plenty of intersections throughout the continent boasting multiple Starbucks locations. But as near as I can remember, this is one of the few, excluding shopping malls, in which the two Starbucks locations are in the same outdoor strip mall.”

I hate to say it, but the first and only time I ever visited a starbucks I was served terrible coffee in a location with all the ambience and atmosphere of a public toilet. I will never visit starbucks again. If you like good coffee visit Italy - you can even get a good espresso on the train.

Yeah, Starbucks is pretty much a factory line operation these days. The coffee is pretty much hit and miss there, leaning towards miss. I've found that Zoka Coffee (http://www.zokacoffee.com/) in Seattle is excellent.
