Even better that they help deserving American workers instead of the chinese.
Schultz intuitively understood IMO his customers would stand by and respect his unconventional business practices. But they in no way could become mainstream. IMHO< the unconventional approach they take gives the company an edgy feel which their base feels adds to their image.

No, their customers would be. Who do you think is picking up the tab everytime benefits have been extended?

They would be paying far less, as one of around 160 million workers. I am glad they are so benevolent, and I am a longtime, loyal patron.

dont you think it would be better if the cups could be made here at the same cost, thus having long term benefits and jobs rather then a fake temporary one used just to push publicity for Starbucks?

Someone want to remind me again where they get their coffee from?
