Well then, feel free to shoot a hole through Thom's utopian bubble dream of Starbucks ever agreeing to partner with a local business like me. They used to let us put a flower arrangement in thier store with business cards. But they just hired a new demon, I mean, manager and her policy is not to let us do this. The employees are bummed because they really liked our groovy arrangements. It's weird because Starbucks is all about advertising to help African countries by selling pure water etc..but they have driven endless local mom and pop coffee shops out of business in the western world. Starbutts.
