Who is drinking Starbuccks in 2025? Just last month Starbucks closed 400 stores and laid off 900 employees in North America.

This will inevitably become "Gen Alpha is killing coffee shops". Fewer Barista jobs are available. The small, local coffee shop that is a nice quiet place to hang out or meet up with friends closes.

The problem is ghouls like her scraping value off the top of everything and hoarding that wealth like a dragon. Removing it from the system so their own personal number goes up.
