Subject: Starbucks
You would think that businesses like this would support our troops, but i guess not, kind of selfish of them
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to
let them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they
send some of it to the troops there. Starbucks replied, telling the Marines
thank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does
nots support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send
the troops their brand of coffee.
So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by
buying any of their products! I feel we should get this out in the open. I
know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that
doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting
street -to-street and house-to-house.
If you feel the same as I do then pass this along.
Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I
deploy once more.
Semper Fidelis.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS .
. ALLOW IT TO BE
PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS
WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE
THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO SUPPORT
THEM OR NOT! ! !
Also, don't forget that when the
Twin Trade Towers were hit the fire
fighters and rescue workers went
to Starbucks because it was close by for water for
the survivors
and workers and Starbucks charged them! ! !
JUST A NOTE
TO THIS; STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN THE
UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS. GO
GET 'EM AMERICA .. STAND-UP FOR OURSELVES!
No, the Starbucks will stay for a while and give profits to the base and the company
Only if you f*** the manager
Starbucks was accused of exercising unfair control over international coffee bean trade. In 2006, BBC reported that Starbucks pressured NCA or National Coffee Association to halt the trademark efforts of Ethiopian coffee beans, thereby denying Ethiopian farmers more than $80 million in earnings annually. Starbucks CEO Jim Donald and Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi had talks about the matter in November 2006, but the problem has yet to be solved. Starbucks then attempted to promote 'fair trade' by using coffee grown by farmers in third world nations. The company plans to buy one million pounds of this coffee at 'competitive' prices in its supposedly altruistic efforts to improve the living standards of third-world coffee farmers. This move is controversial, however, because this third-world coffee makes up a tiny fraction of the chain's total coffee import. Anti-Starbucks protesters say that it "seems that Starbucks can give much more than it offers."
Well, first of all, Starbucks sells coffee, pastries, bagels etc.. They have been trying to go green for a while now, with recycled paper cups. Recently, Starbucks decided to use Fair Trade Coffee.Fair Trade Coffee is coffee that is produced by farmers who don't use pesticides, they grow their coffee naturally. They also usually don't make that much money, don't sell any of their products to big super markets like: Associated, Gourmet Garage etc.. Then Fair Trade buys their products and sells them to companies just like Starbucks. But, the good thing about Fair Trade Coffee is that when Fair Trade buys the coffee from the farmers, they are paying them more per pound. Get it?If that helped at all, please give me some points.Thanks, D Lilah

what did Alexander II refuse to give them? Answer this question…
Here is my experience as a small independent coffee-shop owner. I pay people from 9 to 12 dollars an hour to serve coffee and make some food items at my cafe. People love the cafe because it is French and we roast our own coffee. But we will never survive because there is one Starbucks three blocks away, and another is rumored to be going in about two blocks away. Although my coffees are FAR cheaper than Starbucks, the quality of the coffee FAR better, Starbucks is able to pay its overhead and get SO many people through the door with TONS of marketing. I feel like people go to Starbucks as if they were going to meet a celebrity--it's all about the "Starbucks experience" they've created. So, we are competing as best we can, but we have NO budget for marketing and no angel investors to provide that type of growth opportunity for us. Our quality is superior--no one argues that--but the locations and marketing they pay for give them all the volume they need! So, yes, we would do much better if the one Starbucks had never opened, and if the next doesn't. We will surely go out of business, soon.

type of refuse
Burger King gives $.50 senior drinks and coffee.
if you want to work in an entry level position, it is better to work for Starbucks than grocerie' cashier or shopping stores, because Starbucks give you at least 1$ per hour more that other places + tip + benefits such as insurance+ every week's coffee. But it is not only making drinks or customer service, the main part of the job is cleaning, washing, ... which is very boring
no the land lord cannot refuse to give receipt
