I Want My Starbucks!

Java addicts already know that Starbucks will be closing hundreds of stores across America. In North Carolina, the following stores will be closed:

WILKINSON BLVD 3220 WILKINSON BLVD CHARLOTTE NC
NORTHLAKE COMMONS 9335 CENTER LAKE DR CHARLOTTE NC
PIEDMONT TOWN CTR 4620 PIEDMONT ROW DR CHARLOTTE NC
WORTHINGTON 1520 OVERLAND PARK LN CHARLOTTE NC
PROVIDENCE RD & SHARON AMITY RD 2921 PROVIDENCE RD CHARLOTTE NC

Now, we read that Starbucks-heads are rallying to save their stores. By all means, if the corner coffee shop is your cause (or your employer), then join pitchfork protests and become a Starbucks activist (i.e. a volunteer street work organizer for their overextended marketing strategy). In a world with no shortage of issues to advocate on behalf of -- high gas prices, government accountability, mortgage fraud, war, human suffering -- this seems laughable in its smallness.
