But you burned more calories walking to Main St. though. |

Walking an extra km only burns an extra 5 or so calories so it's not really a huge loss. Maybe they work out or otherwise get enough exercise so they don't need it. |

Well yeah, hence "maybe". I can't just assume they get enough exercise, but that also means you can't just assume that they are sedentary enough that losing that walk will be a detriment. |

If you didn't think that it would affect them, then I really don't see the purpose of your post about burning more calories. Were you just making a note to yourself?
At any rate, I'm digressing. I enjoy Starbucks' cold drinks a lot more than their hot drinks. Too bad the time we're at school generally coincides with cooler weather. |

Disgress all you'd like. Their drinks in general suck and are way too overpriced. And yes, obviously that is my opinion. |

Meh. I'll still just be getting coffee like I always do. I have a feeling that they won't have a full drink menu for the on-campus location anyways simply because space would be an issue behind the counter and then having a ton of students in line waiting for fraps would take WAY too long.

That is true, you do burn more calories but I am quite a lazy person at times and don't feel like walking that far. I always don't mind it...

Broseph, just bring a regular laptop and write bad poetry. Also, have a guitar case next to you; you don't actually need to know how to play or even have a guitar in the case.
Goatees optional. |

As far as I've heard, there used to be a Starbuck's in the Basement of CNH, right by CNH B106. This was several years ago and I heard that they closed because didn't have enough business. Apparently students didn't want to pay so much for coffee.
And then they put in a Booster Juice that has astronomically high priced beverages. Doesn't make sense to me.
