For Starters

I'll be the first to say this: I currently work for Starbucks.  While I was never under any illusion that their coffee is superb, I was attracted to the company because of its benefits package (I've recently lost health insurance coverage because the company no longer gives me enough hours to apply for it.)  I'm currently in the market for another job, but for the time being, my employment at Starbucks gives me an insider's look into the incompetance of the company's management and business strategy at every level.  I anticipate that Starbucks will continue its decline over the next several years, but while the company is still at large, I'll be here to expose and mock its most amusing missteps.  Blogging heals all wounds, hopefully.
