What's worse than Starbucks? Well, nothing, but McCafé will be a close second worst place if it ever takes off here. The article link is from 2000, but the local paper here said today that Raleigh is being considered as a test market, along with San Jose and some other US cities that aparently have a high quantity of mindless consumers (no argument here) who would like their coffeeshops even more cookie cutter than Starbucks. They tried one in Chicago and it lasted less than a year, so hopefully it'll crap out here too.
