Every corp. is evil in its own way. At least Starbucks tries to do some good by giving back, with water, fair trade, etc. Besides, nothing beats their blackberry green tea frappicino.
they also sued a small haida coffeeshop because it was named haida bucks (bucks being young haida warriors). combined with illegal business practices... and much less fair trade than you'd imagine. i don't drink there. i also can't stand all the sugar in everything they make though.
I had a crazy 4 shot mocha and then this dangerous dans stuff was pan fried cookie dough with ice cream... I was tweekin' man.. it was scary
Well faced with bad coffee or no coffee, I go to starbucks. I understand why people dislike the place and I respect that.
