Starbucks crosses the line (again!)

April 8th 2006 04:43

The Imperial Staircase, Forbidden City, Beijing

from Wikipedia

A friend of mine has informed me that on his trip to China this year, he was ASTOUNDED to see that Starbucks has even made its presence felt in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

WRONG! It's akin to a McDonalds in Vatican City in Italy or a Krispy Kreme in Ouzzane, Morocco.

Talk about ruining the mystique...

Now that really is taking it too far. And a Maccas in Vatican City? When I went I was surprised to find Maccas in Italy full stop. Really, who likes Maccas anyway? (Or Starbucks for that matter). See? No one.

If they can add an adult superstore too than they'll have a really classy place!

Well, at least you can get a coffee.

Stupid Starbucks! Why do they have to keep ruining other countries with their stupid green logo?

When I was in Shanghai, though, the Starbucks was PACKED with foreigners that weren't adapting well to China. Ha ha!
