09/26/2001 Entry: "26-Sept-2001 -- Starbucks dropped the ball in New York"

Starbucks dropped the ball in New York -- "Still, the store's unwillingness to donate water -- when many other people in New York and elsewhere freely gave supplies and labor -- came at the very same time when its corporate parent was all too willing to do something else: pat itself publicly on the back." (Comments: Boy, what a shame.)

There is also an interesting Op-Ed piece from the CEO of Starbucks

I'm not a Starbucks booster, (even my 5 year old son calls it Charbucks), but it's good to know that overall Starbucks has been doing good in NYC.
