Despite the gay-friendly messages on its coffee cups, actor Rupert Everett is unhappy with plans to open a Starbucks on a quaint street in his central London neighborhood of Bloomsbury and has joined a campaign of 1,000 other residents afraid that it will turn the street into a franchised strip mall:
Everett: “Starbucks is spreading like a cancer. Nobody in the neighbourhood wants it, including me. There are plenty of diners and coffee shops there already.”
The company insists its presence will bolster the local economy providing more than 10 (!) jobs.
And if it's like the shops that operate in New York, it may bolster the local roach, rat, and vermin population as well.
