It’s a surprise to me, but it turns out that I live in a city with one of the best Starbucks-to-people ratios in the Nation. According to epodunk.com, Falls Church, VA has 7.7 Starbucks locations per 10,000 people in the population. We usually just go to one Starbucks, but it’s comforting to know that we’re surrounded by them. (or is it…)
I think I’ve been to the one that counts as the .7 though. The one that I’m thinking of keeps track of orders by way of finger counting rather than by cash register and it seems they make their “coffee” from a different kind of “bean”. The last time I went there and handed the clerk my Starbucks card, he slid it between his fingers and made a “boop” sound with his mouth. I’m in no place to complain though, Lynnwood, Washington has 3.2 Starbucks per 10,000 people. I don’t want to know how they make their coffee at a .2 Starbucks.
