Investment firm CEO Sheldon Liber gives six reasons why Google should buy Starbucks (here's one: "It would allow them to convert some of their equity from soft assets to hard assets") and writes: "If Starbucks wants to be that 'third place' in the real world and Google wants to be that 'third place' in the virtual world then they should join forces."

It doesn’t matter what Starbucks would or should do or not do as it isn’t Starbucks decision as Google would be making an offer to the stockholders.

I think Starbucks should buy Google. Maybe we could finally get some free Internet and alot of perks!

Really stupid idea.

If baristas got all the benefits that google employees get, then awesome idea.
Otherwise, stupid idea.

Starbucks and Google go together like... Dulce de Leche syrup blended into a PFJB- i like them both individually, but definitely DON'T go together.

Baristaboy,
Back in the day, there was the Jim Henson's show "Dinosaurs" and it basically had this premise and it was called the "We Say So" corporation. I think that about sums it up right there.

Way back in the day there was also a book written by George Orwell called 1984...
...and weirdly enough, I just learned on the wonderful site wikipedia, Starbucks first bought Peets in 1984. It started a trend. Oh man. That's creepy...

So the motto would be Don't Drink Evil?
Fair Trade Coffee every day of the month instead of one?
