Anonymous Coward User ID: 306075 United States 01/18/2009 11:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Starbucks Coffee wants U.S. consumers to jump on president-elect Barack Obama’s volunteer bandwagon and pledge to join one of his community service corps. Quoting: The contrarian 73913Obama and incoming first lady Michelle Obama want Americans to do community service the week of his inauguration Jan. 20. and commit this year to one of his so-called national service corps that will do volunteer work in schools and related to the environment. Starbucks said it will offer free “tall” coffee beginning Wednesday through Sunday for customers who fill out community service pledge cards at the coffee chain’s locations. Starbucks wants customers to commit to five hours this year for community service and volunteer programs. “Five hours is just 25 minutes a month for a year, two afternoons at a food bank creating care packages, a day reading to children at a hospital or in a park planting trees,” said Vivek Varma, senior vice president of global affairs for Starbucks in a statement.

Do some more "work" and get food. Do some dirty community work and get a shiny uniform. Do you prefer Brown or Black as colour ? History again continues. When industry, banking and politics are one it´s called fascism by the way. |
