This works _only_ if the chain's store operate enough alike in every city.
There are such things as sales confined to one area. There are also cases
in which city high-ups interpret their orders from headquarters very
differently.

Also, it doesn't quite cover the case (cited in the original message) of
someone saying "The Starbucks in my neighborhood is dirty."

And it most certainly DOES NOT cover something related which has annoyed me
-- people blithely stating grocery prices of certain items without saying
where those items were being sold.
