A few thoughts:
1. There is no moral or ethical dilemma involved here. Starbuck's officially says that the practice is okay .: it is OK!
2. Why does Starbuck's think the practice is okay? What do you think their profit margin is on a $4 latte? It is frikking coffee! If you want to know how much coffee should cost try making it yourself at home (hint: it wont cost $4).
3. Why does Starbuck's think the practice is okay - part 2? These people are getting free milk, not coffee. All customers at Starbuck's are entitled to free milk. That is why they put it out for use by their customers.
4. Shouldn't your outrage be focused on Starbuck's customers who order their coffee "wet". This means that they are getting more COFFEE for the same price. In your mind this should border on stealing.
5. I love SBUX because this company has a product that people will over-pay for. This makes SBUX a good stock to own.
6. These threads are like car wrecks, it is hard to look away because you think you might see a dead guy.
7. This is the second stupidest thread in months.
That is all.
