If they admit it's bullshit, they should stop making that claim. The “we’re all fair trade” thing’s my current biggest beef with Starbucks.

We'll see where this is going... Merry X-mas and Happy New Year 2006, Siel and everyone..., May your wishes and dreams come true in the new year to come.

They were being dishonest. I just hope they haven't permanently sullied the term 'fairly traded' because there are plenty of others who use it with no intention of misleading anyone. Yes, I agree.

My main issue with the "fairly traded" thing is that the mermaid's training their barista's to say that ALL their coffee's ALREADY fairly traded -- when they know that that's not true. All I'm sayin' is, why not just say they're WORKING on making everything fairly traded? Def. possible that Starbucks could be moving in the direction.
