yeah, it sucks when we pay farmers more for their coffee then any other corporation does, and that we pay more than most fair trade groups do. it also sucks that starbucks builds schools and other amenities in the countries that they buy their coffee from. another thing that sucks about starbucks is getting free stock, health insurance if you work at least 20 hours a week, tuition reimbursement, making 3 dollars more than minimum wage just starting out, and...........you get the idea.
i agree, though, rachael. starbucks sucks when it makes the ma and pop shops go under. that's really my only complaint about them.
funny story, though. what do unions fight for? benefits, salary, etc...right? some stupid baristas are trying to unionize starbucks! we don't need a union, we already have all of that. i admire their attempts, but they should go to a company that NEEDS to be unionized....like wal-mart for example, ya know?

I am glad to have this avenue, at the very least, to visit you and Kelly whenever I can. I miss you brother. and I mean that in the most loving way, not as Hulk Hogan would say to Randy Macho-Man Savage.
