Not that I use them, can't stand the places. Got a friend who only uses supermarkets that have starbucks attached (UK) WTF 
You do your shopping and go home to a decent coffee, why sit in Starbucks

Greek tavernas and bouzouki music (strange I know)
Asda
Ottakars
The real Next plus value alternatives
Adams
A bit more life after dark and more stuff in Joondalup, but deffo not Starbucks... Aussie coffee shops are much better and we could do with less American francises, making everything look the same and paying shite wages.
More curry places
BTW I do love it here though despite the list... plus it's getting better all the time

It wasnt the most fantastic looking of places, but they seemed to be turning people away as they were full, so hopefully this was a good sign.

I'd like an equivalent to Tesco Direct. I hate grocery shopping with a passion and was more than happy to pay £3.99 to have someone else trudge round Tescos and lug it all into my house.
Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with Perth
