So I was in marketing today with the most monotonous teacher ever when he hands out an article for us to read. Always looking for ways to stay awake, I start to scan the article. It turns out we're reading about the McCafe..a gourmet coffee division of McDonald's that has been being tested in Australia and abroad for some time now and is soon to be coming to the United States. Spokespeople said test areas in the US will probably start around the Chicago area where "execs can keep a close eye on it." So anyone from Chicago, let me know if you see one. The article went on to mention how McDonald's believes it may cause a dent in Starbucks business, with just as good quality pastries and coffees but at much lower prices. (Around a dollar a cup*, and a dollar a muffin.) Starbucks refused to comment. So I kept myself awake and amused thinking about McDonald's offering gourmet coffee. And what Jian would think of that. I don't have the article with me, and unfortunately I don't remember the source it came from. But if I have time later when I have the article I'll post a url or type the thing, in case anyone's interested in reading it themself. * -- excuse me. Not a cup. A "unique ceramic mug" :) - -------> Ln :o) Hey guys, now that the bistro closed, we can always go to...the McCafe...assuming we're cool enough to get one...hah. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 21:16:17 GMT From: Aaron Birenbaum Subject: Mike I am seeing mike on Sunday ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 22:30:52 GMT From: platypus@pianosa.catch22.org (Jordan McClure) Subject: Re: OT: Wanna go to McDonald's for a cup of coffee?

Yes, McCafe's are "ick". They've been around for years, but as far as I can tell, aren't very popular. I didn't know that they only existed in Australia. I guess they're our version of Starbucks, then. We don't actually have Starbucks in Australia (yet[1]), but I can't imagine McCafe's competing with Starbucks at all. McCafe would actually need customers for that. :) [1]: I was in Sydney in July and I saw a Starbucks under construction (my sister and I spent the rest of the day complaining about it). It's probably finished by now, raking in profits with bad coffee and high prices galore. - --- Crystal Lee Cooper DrPyser@tmbg.org http://fly.to/drpyser "Attempted murder! Now honestly, what is that?
