starbucks vs. starbucks

The other day I was driving around the city of my birth (Houston, TX).  I was cruising around one of the the affluent, upper scale parts of town, just kind of hanging out, killing some time.  And then I happened upon these two competing coffee houses...
Hmm... which starbucks should I go to, the one on the left, or the one on the right?  Tough choice, life is full of tough choices.

    Which one serves the 'Decaf' ? I haven't been in a Starbucks for over ten years. Out here in the sticks, multinationals are hard to come by.

    Weird layout, but I guess its for those who need a cup on their way out and another on their way back. :)

    It is very strange you would wonder if there was enough trade for both.

    They should just have a whole Starbuck's plaza with like fourteen different Starbuck's stores.

    That is so weird. They must cut into each other's business. Honestly though, how many over-priced coffeeshops does a city really need?

    Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm following yours. Have a great day! :-)
