A good reason to boycott Starbucks

David Sucher gives us "A good reason to boycott Starbucks," because the Seattle SuperSonics basketball team is threatening to move from the City of Seattle, unless the city proffers lots of money for refurbishing the team's arena. One of the team's owners is Howard Schultz, chairman of Starbucks.

(Plus, I'm pissed at them because yesterday, when I got up to replace my coffee because it leaked at the cup seam, in the brief moment I was gone, a staff member threw out all my reading matter, including newspapers and reports, as well as my Pumpkin Scone, and someone took my table. Figuring that I spend about $1,000/year, that pissed me off, and was a good example of how to destroy customer relationships.)

Sounds like there's a good opportunity for a corporate campaign here...
