chas Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 So I was at my local Starbucks the other night getting my ritual coffee in between work and going to a GMAT class and saw this on the register and thought it was pretty cool. You donate $5 dollars and 100% of the proceeds go to creating AMERICAN jobs. I thought it was neat that it didn't say 50% or some odd dollar amount but all $5 of it goes to fostering job growth in our communities (I read the fine print). Also, when I got home I logged onto the website to read more and it appears Starbucks actually made a $5,000,000 up front pledge on top of what they raise from this. From what I read this money will go to local community businesses. You get this nifty little red, white, and blue wrist band that has the word "Indivisible" on it. I know a lot of you guys might enjoy this so thought I would post it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegeaney Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Keeping it real at Starbucks. (don't they sell Columbian coffee?) They sell coffee from all over the world, not just Columbian. Starbucks has put a great deal of effort into improving the way they do business. Responsibly Grown and Fair Trade Coffee | Starbucks Coffee Company I think I may need to get a job there. Being in IT I initially thought my job would be outsourced to India....but China is making a strong showing. The company I work for is opening a huge place there next year.
