Starbucks on trial
An independent weekly weighs how Starbucks has affected Portland, OR and whether it's evil in general. Conclusion: it's not as bad as knee-jerk chain haters think. But it's not as great as yuppies think. My main complaint is validated: "CHARGE #5: STARBUCKS IS HOMOGENIZING AMERICA. VERDICT: GUILTY AS CHARGED."
I'm still convinced the Starbucks I interviewed at last year should be sued for age discrimination, but since one of the subjects in this article was 28 -- the same age I was when the interviewer repeatedly reminded me I'd be the oldest one on the floor -- it must not be official corporate policy. I'm kidding, yet I'm not.
