Starbucks is taking over the world. Way back when I was in Singapore and they got thier first Starbucks. It was small compared to most I've seen. It must have been a hot because when I went back 5 monhts later (Yes, 5 MONTHS LATER) there was on on every block that I walked on Orchid Street.
This is the main high prive shopping district and other stores had to be bought and moved out before these could be there. These were fucking huge. Each one could seat maybe 100 people inside and 200 or more outside. This was on every block for at least 4 blocks and they had seating for maybe 1,000 + people. All that and I still had to wait in line for 15 minutes to get my damn coffee. Insane it is |

What's Your Starbucks Density?
I've got 86 Starbucks within a 5 mile radius of my work. Can anyone beat that?
