Starbucks isn't a person. It's a corporation. Some hourly-wage employee who didn't feel empowered to give a company donation without approval followed normal business practice by doing what he does everyday. Somebody comes into the shop. Wants to buy something. Goods are exchanged for money. By golly, that evil corporation run by evil, money-hoarding bastards--who refunded the emergency workers after finding out about what happened--should pay! I'd wager a fair amount that Starbucks executives don't know what each of their employees is doing on a minute by minute basis. :) Starbucks offers overpriced, oversweetened, overroasted coffee drinks. I'll buy one occasionally, but I prefer better coffee. No need to senselessy bash 'em, though. :) -- Eric http://canid.com/
