I make it my goal to avoid a Starbucks (or any other large coffee chain) and try to give my business to the local Mom and Pop shops instead. My recent post showing my last coffee stop is owned and run by a lady who has to be in her 70's at least. I would rather she has my money than an investment firm with Starbucks shares. These little shops get crushed in the busy urban areas but can sometimes just survive further out in the sticks.
