No, but Starbucks etc.. they're different to other things you can insult someone for. There's just something about those types of places which makes them and the type of people that go there complete twats, for the most part. Mainly I don't like it because it's basically an extension of what Apple is. Just another place where shit is overpriced for no absolute reason (it's not like you're paying extra for the quality, cos there ain't none, just like Apple) and the most probably reason is that it's just overpriced, because it is, and there are people who will continue to go there, or buy their products, purely because it's what they think is for "image" reasons, again, just like Apple products.
Of course it's an image, but i 100% guarantee that no-one posting in this thread has bought into something without relating it to an image.
E.g i wear Topman/River Island etc, because they're well advertised. They aren't cheap, and they aren't the best. I only really buy em because it's a nice image.
iPods are exactly the same, as are flashy phones, flashy cars etc. We're all whores to some trend.
