January 8, 1998 -- Raleigh, NC: Our reporters are
informed by local
Starbucks sales person that the company which makes the pastries sold by Starbucks
has, and we quote, "left us." They said this with a puzzled look on their face, totally
uncomprehending as to why anyone would leave Starbucks. And as usual, when told that we
don't want anything to drink with our pastry, the sales person gets a puzzled look on
their face.
