i was shocked today when i went into starbucks (as i couldn't find any small, independent coffee shop, and my little sister wanted to go). i had a memory of the ethiopian trademarking shenannigans in my head, but when i sat down i was taken aback by the leaflet they had in store.
apparently starbucks, over the past 15 year, have given $3million to CARE international. that is, £1.5m.
doing the arithmetic, that's £100,000 a year. for a company that had a turnover of currently $7.8bn in 2006? why were they advertising this in their stores?!?

No I don't work for them, but I do bank with them and was amazed at what they donate and the foundations they have set up around the world.
Originally posted by mikelomthat's what shocked me! i know that so many major companies give so much, and they don't speak a word of it, and yet starbucks is advertising the fact that they give so little whilst people think that £1.5 is vast quantaties of money! but it's the equivalent of only a few pounds to you and me...

Americano, no room please.
Originally posted by geniusI took notice of that very thing this morning. I think it was because when they filled it, it was foamy on top. Kind of like a head of beer. Then as the foam settled, there was about an inch of room.
