Niccol said. “What we’re seeing is people, you know, they want to have a special experience, and regardless of what your income level is. In some cases, you know, a $9 experience does feel like you’re splurging. And then, what that means is we have to make it worthwhile, right?”

Starbucks, at least around me, doesn’t own any property. They’re in strip malls or leased buildings. You’d have to destroy the stuff inside the Starbucks to do anything to the bottom line for Starbucks. and a single store? That’s a drop in the bucket for them.

I dont see the problem. The head guys have addresses. Feel free to take on your own project

No u? Why aren’t you out there vandalizing a shitty coffee shop? We need a leader! Show us the way!!!

It takes many small cuts with no specific leader. Either take part or keep sidelining yourself.

Yeah, I’ll take that option. Burning down a store is a stupid idea.

So is burning down a warehouse. Its all insured. But it gets their attention and reminds them who really holds the power.
