Photo of the Week: Starbucks What the F%$k!?!
April 22nd, 2008 by timbotron
Today I took this picture of a Starbucks . . .
FROM INSIDE A STARBUCKS ACROSS THE STREET!!!
San Francisco. 100 block of Battery Street near California Street.
I’m too cool to patronize a Starbucks, so let’s say I was in there to use the bathroom.
The Blogadilla Starbucks Challenge:
I will send a free Blogadilla T-shirt (when we get them made in the next month or so) to the first person who can send us a photograph with three separate Starbucks coffeeshops appearing in it.
Contest rules:
• Kiosks do not count, must be a full-fledged coffeeshop.
• They must be three separate Starbucks coffeeshops.
• You cannot use Photoshop, etc. - the photo must be untouched and all three must be clearly visible.
• It must be one photo, no panoramas (but send them anyway), or fish-eye lens shots.
• The photo must be yours and taken by you (not taken from a website, etc.).
• You must provide the specific addresses of the three Starbucks locations.

When I was in CA, I called them “The Evil S” cuz I couldn’t bear to say their name out loud. They were either “The Evil S” or “That which is a virus on our society”.
BUT
MAN! Can I do this Dunkin Donuts??? They are just as bad. I friggin hate coffee. BTW, I’ve never been in either coffee places……..wait! Do drive thrus count? Cuz I’ve done that but I was a passenger.

This is a great challenge– reminds me of the movie Best in Show where the couple with the Weimaraner talks about how they met:
Meg Swan: “We met at Starbucks. Not at the same Starbucks but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other.”

The Swedish equivalent is H&M.
I know you’re probably thinking, “That’s not coffee!” And you’re right. But when I was travelling in Stockholm, from one point in the city I could see 4 different H&M stores. Ridiculous!

Speaking of Starbucks and H&M makes me miss New York just that much more.
Astor Place has THREE Starbucks, so Manhattanites, getcher cameras ready. I’ll meet you at the corner of Starbucks and Starbucks.
I’d give up all of the Starbucks in the world for one H&M within 10 miles of me.

annenayne!!!
I was already thinking of Astor Place when it came to Timbo’s challenge. The question– where is the 3rd one? I can think of 2 (I’ve used the bathroom in each and admittedly have purchased something as well…does that make me evil?).

Well hell, I pass four of them on my three mile drive to work but I can’t get them all in one photo.
