It's considered good manners to actually read the post before commenting nonsensically -- Sadly, many coffee farmers don't have the choice of not selling -- They gotta take what they can get. And about finding another line of work -- Well... That's easier for you and I to do -- tougher for those who've devoted their lives to farming and are now being driven off their land ...

If the co-ops don't like the the price offered they shouldn't sell or maybe they should find another line of work. or they could always hedge themselves in the futures market. Also why buy over priced coffee from Starbuck's and others then complain about their profits? You tree humping Kermits crack me up. lol Fair trade?

Someone doesn't need to pass a test to deserve to receive something at a cafe. If you asked for a cinnamon dolce latte, would she have said, "Do you even KNOW what a latte is? Do you know the history of latte?" I hope she was just having a bad day and doesn't go all Tom Cruise on customers on a regular basis. No customer should be treated so rudely.
