I never liked their over-roasted coffee or their ludicrous prices. I did not care for the impact of their trading practices on third world farmers and the environment, and the way they deliberately forced small local coffee shops out of business by "clustering" their stores in a target neighborhood. I really disliked their rubber-stamped characterless corporate ubiquity and their union-busting.
And the tipping point for me when I completely swore off spending another dime with them was when they made a corporate policy of not allowing anyone with political pamphlets in their stores during the 2004 election...is it possible to be any less true to the ethos of a coffee shop?
