Sounds like some Seattle folks need to get their panties out of a wad. And get some real coffee, too.

Starbucks coffee isn't that great anyways. The frapuchino is ok, but I try to avoid starbucks at all costs.

raising prices 11 cents after 4 years without a price hike...come on guys, find something REAL to complain about.

Dear Valued Customer:

You may have heard or read media reports indicating that a starbucks partner (employee) charged a paramedic for water intended for consumption by the injured and rescue workers during the recent crisis in New York City. As president and CEO of starbucks, I was dismayed to learn about this incident. While it is unquestionable that the appropriate response should have been to donate the water, I cannot put myself in the place or state of mind of the young person who made this decision in the frightening and chaotic aftermath of this unimaginable tragedy. Regardless, the decision is not defensible and is totally inconsistent with what we stand for and would expect from a starbucks partner.

Once I learned of the incident, I called the ambulance company that had been charged for the water and spoke with the CEO. I apologized for the behavior of our partner, asked what I could do to make amends, and promised reimbursement for the paramedic's costs. After the call, I made sure that our partners in New York City took other appropriate actions. The CEO was very appreciative and considered the matter closed.

Unfortunately, some media outlets are using this one action by one person to characterize the behavior of more than 2,000 of our partners in New York City, who acted selflessly to support the general public and protect one another following the attacks. starbucks partners in Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania also dedicated numerous hours to the relief effort. In many cases our partners have taken their own initiative to give assistance to those in need. Although we closed all of our North American stores immediately after the attacks, so that our partners could be with their families during the crisis, our partners in New York City reopened three stores on their own initiative solely to support the relief efforts. One served St. Vincent Hospital and Medical Center, the principal recipient of injured people; another store supported the Jacob Javits Center, headquarters of the relief program; and the third supported workers in the impact area. These stores operated 24 hours a day providing free coffee, tea, and bottled water, as well as fresh pastries. Two of our stores within the impact zone remain open today solely to support the continued relief efforts. Our partners donated hundreds of pounds of coffee to the Red Cross and some store managers invited the Red Cross into our stores to facilitate blood donations.

The list of these actions is endless, and the positive response from New Yorkers and others has been overwhelming. We have received many voicemails, emails, and letters of appreciation for the actions of our partners in the crisis areas. I have never been more proud of starbucks partners than I am now. I would only hope that, had I been there, I would have acted so decisively and with the judgment and goodwill they exercised.

Our partners in New York City have been fighting the aftermath of this tragedy since the attacks on September 11th. Many have worked virtually around the clock and are mentally and physically exhausted. They have seen the media reports and are understandably dejected and angry that this should be the public acknowledgement of all their heroic efforts.

My hope is that you, our valued customer, will recognize the tireless, unselfish efforts of our store partners and support them and our neighbors during this crisis.

Sincerely,

Orin Smith
president and chief executive officer
starbucks Coffee Company



The Pen is mightier than the Sword, but the Sword is better if you need back up.

Good letter, Orin, obviously planned out damage control meticulously crafted by corporate big wigs to keep up the market shares.

but, Starbux still sux

They sell shitty coffee. Most people don't know [-peep-] from shinola when it comes to good coffee and starbucks has taken advantage of that fact.

Starbucks is so fake, it makes me want to puke.

"Freeze, your under arrest for the murder of Moe Sislack and Apu Nahasapasa...OK nevermind, just moe."

You mean just eat the coffee beans with some sugar.
How about just crushing it into powder and snorting it?

Hmm, seems the coffee up here is different, in Canada. My mom loves them, prefers it over Second Cup and some other places. She, ironically, can't see what's all the fuss about Tim Hortons' coffee. Everyday people line up in long lines there fore coffee and my parents just can't understand what's all the excitement behind it. They don't like TH's.

Nah, not a lezbo

She just comes across like she has never done anything in life like hold hands or even kiss a boy. She seems so nieve and she seems like she needs a stiff one more then anyone i know.

Flava Flav is awesome

Dave Coulier is rarely in anything and Briggette Nielson is very anoying too.

Flava is the only thing to watch on that show....and when he gets dressed up he is like "excuse me while i go put in my gold teeth"
