it happens to almost everyone. life takes an unexpected turn and you trade in your shiny high-mindednesses for a slot in corporate america. suddenly, you're working at starbucks.
which, as it turns out, is not that bad. to tell the truth, they seem to be doing more than most to exercise some corporate social responsibility. they nearly won me over completely when i found out that they give a ton of money to CARE International every year, but then i found out a chunk of that cash goes into a relief fund for natural disaster sites in coffee-producing countries.
ha! can't pull the wool over my eyes, Starbucks! still, you're doing something. lots of somethings, apparently. and your corporate responsibility report is encouraging. looks like some good practices in place across your Latin American supplier relationships, and (unsuccessful) efforts being made in the African and Asian sectors.

day two at trendy-but-irrestistably-likable coffee-land begins tomorrow. wish me luck, everybody.
