Yeah, Sbux gets a bad rap. Sure, their drinks can be pricey, but they aren't horrible. I like their coffee, and either go to Starbucks or Caribou most of the time. The prices aren't terribly different. Starbucks also buys coffee direct from farming co-ops in several countries, allowing them opportunity to make market value for their beans instead of being ripped off. They offer fantastic benefits, including insurance benefits for "domestic partners"... not "spouse". To me, that's a big step forward. I just don't want pee in my lemonade
