McStarbucks

It seems that by the time they are getting to Romania, most of the cool things/brands are going un-cool. Same with much rumored Starbucks, which

is going from hand-crafted beverages to machine-prepared beverages. Starbucks is replacing all of its La Marzocco espresso machines with automated espresso machines that dose, tamp, brew, and steam milk with the push of a few buttons. Automated espresso machines make beverage prep so much easier and so much faster for Starbucks Baristas … similar to the systems McDonald’s uses to make hamburger prep easier and faster for its front-line employees.

Well this it seems is not all, as there Starbucks and McDonald’s are becoming more and more alike. Kind of expected, I would say.
