Starbucks NOT supporting the troops
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 not 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!
As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, 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 w e don't support the boys on the ground fighting
street-to-street and house-to-house for what they and I believe is right.
If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will never know.
Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.

on a seperate note, after the disaster in NYC on 911, most businesses gave away food and drink to firefighters / cops and other peeps volunteering.
Starbucks apparently was charging them for water.

What would you expect from a place thats too high brow to even acknowledge "large, medium and small" as the sizes we use in America.

I try to avoid it like the plague...if I have to go to once of those joints I try to go to Carabou. I'd rather have Dunkin, but that place tests the
limits of my patience. The one by me has a staff of like 470 Indian people that rotates daily and each day they all seem like its their first on the
job.
"Large coffee, cream only."-Me
"Medium coffee with sugar?"-Any one of them.
"Sausage egg and cheese on a garlic bagel"-Me
They then search forever and select a plain bagel, I then have to yell "GARLIC!" to which they seem suprised they grabbed the wrong one...only to ask
me
"what kind of cream cheese?"

starbucks has great coffee.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
