Jeez... If I was in Milan, the very LAST place I'd be having a coffee would be in fooking Starbucks!!! :doh:
You'd need to be an utterly brainless, tasteless tool to go there, with so many utterly fabulous traditional Italian cafes around!

Also, don't get the idea that young people are all brainwashed sheep, and automatically drawn to marketed brands. Some are still discerning and capable of individual thought;)
The Starbucks in question will undoubtedly do well, but mainly because of the amount of footfall it'll get, courtesy of one of the most touristy cities in the world, not because of much else.

Not me, when I was young (or Del). We liked to be different, by refusing to conform to the norm... We had minds of our own, and that's still the same now. The fact is, intelligent and well-educated people, of any age, are less prone to being brainwashed.Quote:

Today's brekkurs... A glass of Portuguese pure mango juice, Ensaïmada (a type of Spanish pastry), and another cheeky wee cappuccino, this time in a glass mug:
