We roast our own green coffee beans around here, so this doesn't have an impact on us really, but as folks who have been in the service industry, Starbucks' view that it's ok to give tips to the shift supervisors is appalling. Save your "bucks" and go buy better (green beans) online. You can roast 'em in a 20 dollar popcorn popper if you don't want to shell out the money for a roaster (the basic home roaster is not that expensive, compared to what you pay at the window). Unite!
