Communist Coffeemakers

Hi folks...it's your favorite Safari guide. So I've finally gotten some email access out here, and what do I find? This link from Slate Magazine detailing how Starbucks manipulates their advertising campaign to entice customers to buy larger drinks, when they're actually only paying for a larger cup.

I am admittedly one victim of this dastardly ploy, as Starbucks has sucked more than its fair share of dough out of my pocket, mostly in the form of Grande Caramel Macchiatos. However, I entreat you to join me in boycotting Starbucks and it's line of caffeinated goodness... if we all band together against this mocha-flavored atrocity, maybe they'll stop acting like the primadonnas of the coffee world and sell a reasonably priced cup o' joe. And maybe, just maybe, that Starbucks manager who once would not let my wife use his establishment's bathroom will be "marginalized due to corporate downsizing." Ahh...revenge will be sweeter than a mint-chip frappucino.
