Ah, yes, nothing as warm as uniformity.
I'm pretty sure the stereotypical Starbucks patron doesn't mind a splash of colour, but what do I know.
They might as well be robots or clones, you don't think robots are warm and welcoming?
Robots can be convenient if all I want is service with minimum interaction (provided the robots work well, otherwise I'll have to talk to a human and deal with the annoyance of something not working). I don't need them to be welcoming any more than I need a fast food drive-through to be welcoming. The bakery I grab my breakfast from has to look appealing, but I personally wouldn't care if the staff was curt.
It's just stupid to pretend they're being "welcoming" by curtailing individuality.
Welcome to Starbucks, I love you!
