No Tears Over Starbucks Here.

Freaking out over the imminent closure of your local Starbucks? You're apparently alone among our readers. This week's survey asked whether you'd get hysterical if your local 'bucks was on the list of the 600 stores they plan to shutter in the coming months. According to media reports, in some cities people have launched "Save our Starbucks" campaigns and are pleading with corporate not to close their corner store. We asked if you'd joined the melee. Your response? Um, no. Reader Mahesh says:

"I'd be pretty disappointed if the Starbucks near my workplace closed, because I like the people that work there and the coffee is pretty good (either that, or I'm used to the way Starbucks brews its beans). However, there's a Starbucks not too far away that has terrible service and less-than-stellar coffee. I would shed not a tear if it went away."

So much for brand loyalty!
