 You would think so, but it isn't exactly accurate.
As I travel around the country I find myself in many places that don't have a Starbucks, or the one that is within a 50 mile radius is in some Border's Bookstore or something.
While they may have been given the recipe, they certainly have not been given the training, and there is a definite difference between the one I get here in LA and the ones I pick up in OK or IN.
