Sing out the words that you know...

An open letter to the patrons of Starbucks:




Fuck You.


except for one, and you know who you are.






Yesterday, Mikey and I went downtown to chill and for him to pick up some chicks. Well, We walked around sundance square like we normally do and then we headed over to my favourite coffee shop, The Four Star Coffee Bar on 7th street, home to college kids and street rats. The time was about 10pm and I knew that they did not close till 12 on friday and saturday nights. The first thing I noticed upon driving into the parking lot was that the green neon light was off on the sign. I thought it was peculiar, but I just dismissed it. Upon walking up to the door I was greeted by an employee and he said the following;

"Hey, sorry guys, we're closing early tonight. Oh, and starting monday we'll only be open till 2pm."

"Why?"

"Money's just not being made."

"You're not closing down are you?"

"I don't know. Honestly, I really don't think so, but you know, times are times. We'll still be open till 10 on friday and saturday nights"

I turned around, put my middle finger to the sky and screamed "FUCK YOU STARBUCKS!! FUCK YOOOOOOU STARBUCKS" like they were really going to hear me. a group of college kids smoking outside said 'Amen!' and 'Right on man!' the employee apologized and mikey and I got back into the car.
We resumed our search to find our old independent coffee shops. One being Coffee Haus in Arlington. We drove down to lincoln square and found that it had also been replaced by some french cafe, that was of course closed. There used to be a Coffee Haus downtown in sundance square. They closed due to what? BOUGHT OUT BY FUCKIN STARBUCKS!!!

We are losing our independent culture to these $4.00-for-a-small-or-a-tall-or-whatever- the-fuck sizes they have there.

Rise Against.

Boycott Starbucks.
