lame this company sucks so bad now

[mildseven2006]

The coffee sucks, or the company?

@gamba88 the company sucks so bad? hum would be interested to see the reasoning behind your comment, they do a lot of good by buying only fairtrade coffee, therefore making sure the farmers in inpoverished countries get what they should, also the standard of the coffee in our local Starbucks is far superior to Costa or any other coffee shop around, my opinion.

@TheThirdKing Starbucks isn't the worse out there, and they have made people step up their game, they still aren't making great coffee, even good coffee at stores. Their coffee isn't burnt, it's stale, and fairtrade isn't a good system for coffee, nor nearly as good for farmer as when people buy high quality coffee.

@snoopyflick re Fairtrade what do you suggest, who will implement it, how, and why?

Heh, reminds me of Eddie Izzard:

If the President of Burundi says, "Would you like a cup of coffee," you're not supposed to go, "Oh, I'm in here!"
