But they offer health insurance to employees, sell fair trade coffees, and give lots of grants to the community.

Why wouldn't they be interested in feedback from highly-motivated customers, ex-customers and potential customers based around the world? (via Cosmos)

Bibliocook: All About Food: After some discussion about Fair Trade goods, green LA girl challenged me to take the Starbucks Challenge. In their policy document - Starbucks, Fair Trade, and Coffee Social Responsibility - they say that "Fair Trade Certified coffee has been promoted by Starbucks as a brewed "Coffee of the Week" and can be brewed by coffee press during store hours upon customer request." The challenge was to ask for a cup of Fair Trade coffee in Starbucks and see how easy it was to get served. (via Cosmos)

According to their own policy they are supposed to do so when requested, on any day of the week, whenever they are open (no restrictions is the point you should be getting here). (via Cosmos)
