You know I hate Starbucks

But some people take it a step further. A bunch of international bloggers have launched the [l:http://greenlagirl.com/2005/12/03/starbucks-challenge-30-demand-an-answer-2|Starbucks Challenge]. They go into starbucks and ask for the Fair Trade blend. Tunrs out they weren't having universal luck finding it.

[l:http://greenlagirl.com/2005/12/23/response-from-starbucks|Here is their exchange with SB HQ].

Regardless of what Starbucks does about their coffee purchasing, or staff benefits... I still think their coffee sucks, and I still don't like that they are homogenizing coffee culture the globe over. I'll take an indipendent cup of coffee over starbucks any day.
