Upod, I also thought the sandwiches were a great addition to the stores. Just remember though, Starbucks execs are doing the best moves for the company, in their eyes. We will have to wait to see if this was a wise move. They are trying to focus more on their coffee since there have been these coffee wars and all the news about McDonalds and others. I believe their turnaround efforts will make a difference, as long as they don't overprice themselves. I am waiting for my ACH to clear so I can transfer money over to buy stock.
