Someone blacked out the windows and posted out-of-business notices at several Starbuckses in San Francisco. The Starbusian ambassador decried these actions as a "venti, venti hate crime," against his people, whose tribal customs have increasingly become the target of vicious prejudice in many metropolitan centers and college towns.
The culprits went as far as to stick "closed" and "for lease" signs and notices on the stores — using bogus Starbucks Corp. letterhead — announcing that "thousands of retail locations worldwide" were closing, and the Seattle- based company was "making room for local coffee bars."
