Starbucks to open 1,500 more cafes in the U.S.

11. Lewis Black nailed it years ago

There sits a Starbucks, and directly across the street from that exact same building as that Starbucks, there is another Starbucks. There is a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks. And, ladies and gentlemen, that is the end of the universe.

People have asked me, "How do you know this?" Well - go there. Stand between those two Starbucks, and when you look at your watch, time stands still.

And what's truly amazing, if you turn and look just at one Starbucks, immediately you think, "You know, when I turn around, there can't possibly be a Starbucks behind me. If there's a just and loving God, how could He allow that to happen?" So you turn slowly, thinking maybe there's a McDonald's there, or possibly an Exxon station, or maybe a Gap - but there's another Starbucks!

Many people have asked: are there too many Starbucks? Well, now we know. YES. When you build a Starbucks across the road from another Starbucks, the game is over. You can build no more.
