I'm all for "Starbucks" in the same vein that we tag "Chipotle" not
"Chipotle Mexican Grill". Although, I've seen the latter tagged as
alt_name which I'm fine with in that case, but if Starbucks itself is
deemphasizing the "coffee" part (similar to Domino's and Apple) I'm a
bit leery of adding "Starbucks Coffee" even as alt_name.
