You will not find the darkened, music filled rooms and the soft over-sized chairs to enjoy your 13 shot venti soy hazelnut vanilla cinnamon white mocha with extra white mocha and caramel (costing $13.76 including tax). Waldo enjoyed a cappuccino for $1.50 and stated that the coffee was great.
Now for your Arabic lesson of the day. Although it appears like the coffee shop meant to say "free", they actually got it right. The word fee, spelled phonetically, is a preposition and has many meanings, mainly "in." The store was probably trying to convey "here coffee."
Here's some startling information to get the brain cells working on a Sunday morning. According to the World Bank, Burundi's estimated 2009 GDP per capita is $160, making it the world's poorest country. The $14 you just spent in Starbucks is approximately a family's monthly income.
