  Geez, Starbucks are novices compared to Subway, ya go in to order lunch and leave like you've just sat an end of year exam, talk about 100 questions, I try to avoid them.

  This happened a couple of months ago, and at the time I wondered what the motivation for this was... answer below: A TEENAGER who set off a homemade bomb outside a New York City Starbucks coffee shop has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison. Authorities say the stunt was meant to emulate an anti-hero in the film and novel Fight Club. Kyle Shaw declined to speak at his sentencing today. The 19-year-old pleaded guilty in September to charges including attempted arson. He was 17 at the time of the blast. The May 2009 explosion on Manhattan's Upper East Side shattered windows at the Starbucks. No one was injured. Authorities say Shaw was trying to imitate Fight Club character Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt in the 1999 movie. Durden orchestrates attacks on symbols of corporate America. Shaw's lawyer said his client's actions reflect a "troubled youth" not an anarchist campaign.
