Boston. Indies open at 8am and close at 2pm. Starbucks is open like 6am-9pm. If I want a coffee at 3pm I am stuck with Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Indies can't afford to be open an extra 7 hours where they are doing very little business.

Redneck Florida here. We don't even have a Starbucks, but the locally owned coffee drive-thru is open early to get the high school kids.
