OK: This book by Taylor Clark is pretty interesting... As someone who never had been in a Starbucks until I met my wife, the whole thing kind of escaped me... But I'm a cheap a$$.
Funny story... I used to be sent to various Starbucks to get my wife her crack... err... drink. Once I went to a Starbucks that I had not been to in about six months and started rattling off the extremely complex incantation in the drive through... There was a pregnant pause as I completed the spell, and then the lady on the other end of the box says very tentatively... "Ah... Is this... Bekki?"
I'll never forget it... But anyway, Taylor is NOT a Starbucks fan as far as I can tell, but he does seem to be pretty fair in his assessment of them... I just wish I had bought their stock way back when... Un-flippin' believable...

I resent the implication that a venti, nonfat, extra hot, no foam, vanilla latte is a complicated drink!
