Still curious? Check out the Starbucksgossip blog, which claims to have no connection to the company and chronicles the trials & tribulations of being a barista in the chain.
And on the lighter side: 171 Startbucks is the account of a filmmaker who visited all 171 Starbucks coffee shops in Manhattan in one day and made a purchase in each one. According to the website, that is one store for every 7 minutes for 24 hours.
