"Lying is wrong, which means it’s our moral obligation to tell you that the “first” Starbucks is not the first at all. That one was demolished in the ‘70s. So those hordes of people waiting for a photo op while clutching frozen blended sugar water? They’ve all been scammed. But we’ll give it to Starbucks’ marketing team—“Come visit our second-ever location” doesn’t have the same ring to it. Nothing at Pike Place Market feels as miserable as standing in line for nearby Piroshky Piroshky while getting yelled at, but this line’s a close second. How fitting." - Aimee Rizzo
