I know. But, my experience with those (esp. in NYC) is they are always full (at least five people in line). So, I wonder why they are not making any money. Again, I think it is because although there is a HUGE mark up in the coffee and other products, the service is pathetic and slow. Again, I see people in the drive through here in Atlanta that are still in line 30 minutes later when I get back from my run

Having said that, the $5.00 Green Tea is FAB as is the $7.00 large Frappucino
