„Coffee is also grown on large plantations worked by landless day laborers with low rates of unionization and extremely poor working conditions. In 1995, as a result of pressure from the US/Guatemala Labor Education Project, Starbucks drafted the first Code of Conduct for coffee suppliers, but they have yet to implement it. Starbucks refuses to disclose the location of the plantations from which it buys, making independent monitoring impossible. A recent study by the Guatemalan Commission for the Verification of Corporate Codes of Conduct found half the workers on fincas in that country earning less than $3 per day for picking 100 pounds of coffee.“

„At age 14, while working in my dad's retail store, I was already making a serious effort to convert 80-year-old ladies to freshly roasted Guatemala Maragogype. ("Ma'am, I can recommend a freshly roasted, very mild and mellow after-dinner, low-caffeine coffee that will make you sleep like a nightingale.")“
