“Well, it was just a goof in an email to some friends, but checking Canada411.com gives 118 S'bucks in B.C., and 86 in Vancouver (which seems to include⟳ the GVA).”
“It would be nice if they were bought out by Starbucks! Thanks for keeping us posted. ( drinking a very strong cup of S'bucks Columbian as I type⟳)”
“Not all that fond of S'bucks myself. it's^([sic]) ok, but I'll still walk⟳ past the 2 nearby ones to get⟳ to our Au Bon Pan. We've got 2 of those also, both with better coffee for less mone^([sic]) than at teh^([sic]) Starbucks.”
“My choice is and always be Starbucks...or as we say⟳..."s'bucks".^([sic]) Go in and ask⟳ for a Red Eye Special if you don't ever want⟳ to blink again (light⟳ roast with 2 shots of espresso)...mmmmmm.”
“For people like⟳ me, who have⟳ to study⟳ the menu nearly every S'bucks visit⟳ just to be able to convey what @#*% SIZE they want⟳, Sunday's strip⟳ was wonderfully spot-on.”

“I nearly got mashed in a Starbucks parking lot by someone driving way too fast for either blind corners or parking lots. S'bucks can't do much about putting traffic calming measures in their own⟳ parking lots for obvious reasons (speed⟳ bumps and hot coffee don't mix⟳).”
