Starbucks at Yosemite National Park

[Operational needs]

Plan for a Starbucks in Yosemite has people venti angry

There is a lot of uproar about this. What do you guys think?

I wish it was something other than a Starbucks. Just cups of sugar and caffeine. A BBQ joint would be nice.

I think it's too late to stop corporate infiltration. The park concessions are already run by a big Corp. If one wants to get away from all that they have to venture outside the valley in the High Sierra.

Yosemite and Yellowstone are 2 different places.

Maybe you could use a cup of Starbucks.

Lol. Too expensive for me.

All I know is the RV sites at Yellowstone are ran by a private company and were the worst sites of all the camping we did on that western swing.

not suprising; truly american

i thought i heard a few years back the park service already had a deal with corporations as a means of "funding".

the issue in america is never a shortage of money; the issue is always how it chooses to raise and spend its money.

Ain't gonna do it ... wouldn't be prudent!

Haha! Too late! @bbsam must have already fixed it.

steam!!!!

shoot, I'd put a Starbucks in a church if it'll get people to come.

So Starbucks today, McDonalds tomorrow? Maybe sell off renaming rights to the highest bidder? C'mon. Capitalism doesn't have to be in the front seat on every ride.

And @Monkey Butt you are correct. Last time I attempted to change my own diaper was three hours of frustration followed up by a day and a half of watching sports all weekend naked. Luckily my wife made it home Monday morning to dress me for work.

My sentiments exactly. Where would it stop? Nippon Golden Gate Bridge? Amazon Library of Congress?
