I'm sorry. I don't even understand it. What is it supposed to mean?
Posted by: Michael | 17 August 2010 at 10:28 PM
Michael, I had to read it a few times to get it, too.
"They" in the sign is meant to refer to Starbuck's competitors -- though by the rules of proper English, "They" refers to Starbuck's.
Very confusing, indeed.
