The news of KK closing made me think of the KTTC "story" about Starbucks which in turn made me think of that unbelievable ad I saw during that news program.Pernoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356847785865077227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120072.post-5041331221704299372008-02-28T10:36:00.000-06:002008-02-28T10:36:00.000-06:00Wow!

I knew that our store in Maple Grove was one of the last, but I didn't know it was shutting down. I think we were there a total of a dozen times while it was open. Mostly to take a cheap box of donuts to work as a treat for the team. I never liked them. The "donuts" came apart in your mouth like cotten candy. Yuch.<BR/><BR/>Starbucks. We had the same "news story" here. The first thing on my mind was, "Who the hell cares? Isn't there anything more important going on in the world?"<BR/><BR/>Defense of Democracy.

They acted like druggies wanting a hit.<BR/><BR/>When the store opened, cops had to direct traffic through the drive-thru line for weeks. <I>Weeks</I>.<BR/><BR/>Intrigued, I finally tried one of their doughnuts.<BR/><BR/>Awful. Just terrible.<BR/><BR/>Still, I used to bring a box in for the team at Acxiom once a week. Figured some guys there would like it.<BR/><BR/>Buh-bye, Krispy Kreme.Avindairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025041690296714527noreply@blogger.com
