Horror!

If you open up 16,000+ locations, this sort of thing is bound to happen:

A 38-year-old man plunged to his death near a coffee shop in Manhattan yesterday, police said, after leaping from an upper East Side building just after 6 p.m. and crashing onto the outdoor seating of a Starbucks at First Ave. and E. 85th St.

“How horrible!”, said Nancy Miller, 58. ”You’re sitting, having coffee,” she added. “You don’t expect that.”

That’s an understatement, Nancy. Not to promote this sort of thing, but a quick Google search reveals Starbucks locations beneath the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, at the base of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and multiple shops within a block of the Empire State Building. This story is horrible, but it could have been much, much worse.

So many Manhattan locations to choose from!
