Some of the $sbux @Starbucks recent changes are plain awful. While it may help the bottom line in the next year, it's a brand death mark.

1. No open door policy
2. Charging for water (!!!)
3. Refills only with Starbucks cups (I have 10, but I prefer to go each morning and get a nice cup I can refill while sitting at my local branch reading, well not anymore).

Sorry for the rant, gratz on the stock price hike. Gl
