I used to think that Starbuck’s was everywhere … in the United States … and they are everywhere. They’re in Phoenix, AZ, San Antonio, TX, Portsmouth, NH, Lexington, KY, Salt Lake City, UT, and so many more places that I’m too lazy to name. But that’s okay for the U.S.
But they seem to be everywhere everywhere. One of the things I like about Europe is coffee shops, where the coffee is both strong and tasty. So, I don’t really understand the Starbuck’s export. And, these shops are usually busy. I have to admit that when I am home I frequent Starbuck’s even though we have coffee shop, but in Europe … no way.
So far, no sightings in Africa or South America.
