I'll save my powder for intrusions like the radio tower atop Mt. Hoffman, dams in the Minarets area, Mono Lake diversions, and other issues that are orders of magnitude more important to me.

I have to agree with Dave, There are a lot of bigger issues we have to worry about, especially now with the Trump administation. However, I wonder about Lisa Cesaro and her belief that a Starbucks will "enhance the visitor experience." What else does she have in mind? I don't want or need Aramark to "enhance" my experience. Yosemite does not need enhancement.

I had thoughts of a zip line from the diving board on HD down to the Ahwahnee? Maybe a bed of nails at the bottom and if you survive, a free cup of Starbucks?
Mark will look good in his barista costume if he can get coffee lingo down..

Look at it this way--one more line that you don't have to get in that will divert people away from other places in the park that you want to visit!

I see it as a non issue. Like others, bigger issues worth people's time: how is getting the original names back campaign going?
