Thousands of morbidly obese people wearing yoga pants won't get their 2300 calorie "coffee" drink I suppose....

Just because the cardboard says it, doesn't make the drugged-out 40 y/o a Vietnam Vet.

But nice of you to look for an excuse for bad behavior. Maybe start a business consulting to Starbucks. Help them turn their stores into homeless camps.

I just sent Starbucks a message here https://ideas.starbucks.com/ about learning about the homeless, vets, etc.

There are lots of them out there that need help, but I'm sure you know that and have already opened your home to them and given them free privileges including use of your bathroom as needed, or just to hang around or catch a nap. In your home.

Of course you have. You wouldn't be suggesting that starbucks or anyone else do anything that YOU wouldn't be willing to do, right?

Whenever I get a hankering for SB I just go out to the grill and grab a chunk of used charcoal out of the grill and lick it.

Charbucks has wrecked the perception of good coffee.

Ill vouch for Shaun ,that he is the type of person who tries to do good, and would lend a hand up to someone in need .

Thank you Fred, I appreciate it.

It's a tough call on spouting off about good works you have done. On one hand, it is self-aggrandizing but on the other it may be inspirational to someone else. Balance is key.

I focus entirely on Big Brothers, Big Sisters. nuff said.
