Sorry, partner.

Starbucks is grinding 685 'partners' out of jobs as they prepare to close 61 of its 84 Aussie stores -- a remarkable 73% chop. In less than two weeks, only Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne will be home to a signature North American brand. In Melbourne, coffee-making is a competitive sport and home to people -- like me -- who aspire to a 'cafe lifestyle'. The demise of Starbucks on these shores is akin to Dorothy's house landing on that nasty witch. Think I'm kidding? Read this:
Good news everyone!

The originator of all things evil and corrupt, the dark lord of the bean has finally decided to leave our fair shores, and good riddance!

You all know what I mean, the source of endless frustration and disappointment, STARBUCKS, has pulled the pin on most of its Australian stores. YIPPEE!!!!

Melbourne Coffee Review is proud to let you all know that it has no and has never had any affiliation with this behemoth, this pathetic excuse for a coffee chain.
Enough hot air in that quote to froth a half-dozen cappas ....
