Spot on. Interestingly, I know some senior people within Starbucks and others working hard for them to steer the great beast back on track now that Howard Shultz is back in the driver's seat. It may be too late for you and I, but I bet we'll see a lot of the issues you raised addressed in the coming months. Will it pull them out of this tailspin? Maybe. Either way, the current situation seems like more of a correction anyway. Let's hope at least it allows the mom & pop coffee shops like those found on Commercial Drive in Vancouver to survive.
