August 17, 200719 yr This is the same company that on Sept 11 in New York refused to give botteled water to EMS responder to use to rinse patient eyes. They are at the very top of my NO BUY list.
August 17, 200719 yr This is the same company that on Sept 11 in New York refused to give botteled water to EMS responder to use to rinse patient eyes. They are at the very top of my NO BUY list.Not only did Starbuck's give free coffee to WTC rescue workers, they donated over 1 million dollars to the September 11 Fund, AND made it possible for employees and patrons to do so as well. As for the ridiculous "water" story, here is a little perspective on that: "If a store offers me something, that is different than me demanding or even expecting something for free. Expecting or demanding free food, coffee or even ice sounds un-American in my eyes. No real rescue worker would ever demand or expect anything for free. I know - I am a real rescue worker. "I also know that Starbucks coffee has been sent to soldiers as a thank-you for their service to our great country for a long time. Relatively few companies are actively engaged in sending items from home to our troops, and Starbucks as a company and their employees should be applauded for their action. "Therefore, when I read emails about Starbucks not giving something for free to a rescue worker and a complaint about it via email, I have to tell you that on a personal level that the claim is an insult to police officers, fire fighters, EMT's and paramedics. "Starbucks is a business, and they have every right to charge people for their products. Whoever started that rumor was not a real emergency service provider and should be ashamed for even claiming to be one." Full Story
August 17, 200719 yr You may want to reread my comment. Within hours of the attack I saw an EMT interviewed on TV that told this story. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

The incident (if true) was a local decision made by a local employee. Just can't see that as justification for condemning an entire corporation -- especially one that has done and does a lot of good for various causes.

August 18, 200719 yr I think Starbucks needs to take this guy around the globe when they open a new Starbucks store.
