Practice What You Preach


Starbucks is big on Community Service. They say so right on their website:

We believe in being good neighbors.

Every Starbucks is a part of a community, and we’re committed to helping neighborhoods thrive wherever we do business. It’s a commitment rooted deep in our heritage and the belief that we can use our scale to be a catalyst for positive change.

Now, more than ever, communities are relying on the private sector to share resources and help drive meaningful change. At Starbucks, we’ve always valued community service, and our partners have been fostering this “culture of good” since we opened our first store in 1971.


But when I walked in today and asked them to donate 20 little paper cup sleeves so my kids could make these cute ships, they said something else.





They said no.

I wonder if they've read their website?

Probably the person who said NO hadn't read it. Perhaps you should send them a copy of your blog.
Shame on them.
