 yeah but they still cant make decent coffee.* 
And Starbucks was just an example.  I'd like to see gangs of franchise salesmen come on over with the troops bringing the secret plans of places like:  Arbies, Denny's, Eggheads, Ponderosa, Bass Pro Shops........hell just turn Holland into Europe's biggest mall (only Europe's biggest, USA prolly has bigger already).

*  Ok that's a lie, you just have to know what to ask for....asking for plain "coffee" will get ya roofing tar in a cup.  However, asking for a tall skinny chocolate malt frappacino lattee double expresso will get you funny look and you'll be asked if you speak English.
