(+) Starbucks

A little too much negativity here, so I thought a quick plus post was in order. I love Starbucks. For years I avoided them as an evil corporate entity, but I have changed my tune. Not only are they at least making an effort to be globally conscious by offering fair wages to coffee growers, but their products are good, their stores are comfortable and well-appointed, and in general their employees appear to me (and tell me they are) very happy working for Starbucks.

I used to drink Tim Horton's coffee, but don't now. I suspect they keep their prices down by totally exploiting the coffee growers. Starbucks coffee is just better, probably because you can't taste the blood of the peasants in it.
