Starbucks has initiated offering wine and beer at a select number of stores in Washington state. And Burger King began selling beer at some upscale Whopper Bars. There is considerable downside to doing so i.e. getting permits, staff training, checking I.D., additional security, etc. I have enough trouble with Starbucks lengthy menu of lattes and grandes on the wall and now having a young barista hand me a wine list to peruse will surely hold up the line of anxious folks seeking their caffeine fix. We could precipitate an altercation. Another thing to consider is the majority of their traffic occurs before 2PM which makes for a bit early wine break. As for Burger King somehow "A hamburger, fries and a cabernet sauvignon" doesn't sound right. Let's see where all this goes but if the line isn't moving at your local Starbucks blame it on those wine connoisseurs up front.
