What a silly survey.

Talk about no right answer. If Starbucks moved in next door, I'd get to use my "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks" banner.

I already have a Starbucks next door and never use it. I'd trade it for McDonald's or any other restaurant.

Seattle here, there are something like 5 $tar bux with in a mile of my place and I think a KFC/TacoBell at the edge of that mile. I really dont like Starbucks very much, I would trade for a few small quality eateries

Um, Yum. Living next door to the smell of rancid grease. Of course, if you don't know the difference between the smell of rancid grease and fresh, than it may not matter to you and you may enjoy having a McDonalds close by.

Having moved from the US to a place with plenty of McDonalds but generaly aweful coffee (think drinking stale vinegar), I would give anything to have a Starbucks or a Peets, or anyone that sold coffee that didn't taste like drinking acid.

I live above Starbucks and I go there every single morning, and sometimes in the afternoon/evening for my later classes.

I am a devoted and loyal customer. I appreciate their drinks, and I'll pay for them. I also use a registered card, which affords me a discount and the baristas at my location usually give me an extra shot in my latte on the house :)

They both suck, but if I had to smell something from one every day, I'd rather it be coffee than grease.

Starbucks Please! If a Starbucks moved in it would mean I no longer lived in the ghetto, but in a hip neighborhood like I hope one day this place will become. We already have a Burger King and White Castle within 3 blocks, so we NEED a Stabucks (or any other chain/non-chain coffee shop, please.)

I personally would prefer to have myself and my clothing smell like fabulous coffee but I would be poorer.

Actually, we do have a Starbucks next door. McDonald's is a couple blocks down the street. I don't frequent either. In fact, I've never even been inside the McDonald's here. I guess I'd have to choose Starbucks, then, eh? But really, I want to live next door to a Panera Bread.

This ranks right up there with the survey question: Would you rather be blown up by a terrorist pipe bomb (43%) or explosive vest (35%)?
