Starbucks is 86-ing sandwiches

starbucks breakfast sandwiches
Starbucks must really be feeling the pressure from fast food chains now.

First we find out they're "testing" much much lower priced coffees in Seattle (with free refills!), and now we find out that Starbucks will be removing breakfast sandwiches from their menus starting this fall. It seems odd at first, since the breakfast sandwiches typically add $35,000 to a store's annual revenue. Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz said, "we're going to build for the long-term and get back to the roots and the core of our heritage, which is the leading roaster of specialty coffee in the world."

I don't mind. Like coffee, I prefer McDonald's (Egg McMuffin!) to Starbucks.

I'm not surprised at all, even though I never saw these in any of my local Starbucks, after all this is what happens when you try to be all things to all people. They need to just settle down and focus on coffee, that's what everyone I know, myself included, goes to Starbucks for.

(Personally, I'd sooner chew glass than set foot inside a *shudder* McDonald's...)
