Starbucks, the Social Oxymoron
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008“…Seattle has unleashed this weird phenomenon upon the world, called the coffee shop. The coffee shop, thanks to Starbucks, is the place where socially isolated, lonely, needy people gather together to ignore one another. That is so weird! So all these people who are lonely, go to the coffee shop to open up their laptop, and to drink their burnt coffee, and put their iPods in their ears so they can ignore one another in community.”
– Mark Driscoll on Lonliness
