As a new California resident, I preformed my civic duty and filed some taxes. In my mailbox today, I was greeted with what I like to think of as my official welcome to the state. My tax refund check.
All three dollars.
Oh yeah. I'm getting a latte!
I often feel some guilt for selling out to the coffee corporate giant. But, I like the calmness of their set up. And, I like the tea they have. And, the coffee. And, their gift section.
But, I still feel like I'm a sellout. That is, until today. I have learned that Starbucks now spends more on health care than on coffee beans. They say they do it because it's just the right thing to do.
I've just been absolved of my guilt.
