For real, Starbucks? Come on...

Dear Starbucks,

You are making me very mad right now. You are promoting your (Starbucks) RED campaign and doing a very good job making yourself look like a responsible company. Why though, Starbucks, Sweetie, are you only donating your 5 cents from three different drinks? Come on, you had to know that people were going to flock to your stores to buy their coffee and think they were doing good because their purchase was contributing to the Global Fund.

In fact, I'm sure your profits will be quite swollen from this campaign, but still you are only giving 5 cents from THREE DIFFERENT DRINKS?!? Really? Yes, you have stated that it's only from your Select drinks that you make donations (of around 1.75% and less), but is that all you can give? With the increased profits that surely you have already anticipated you are still only giving less than 2% of the sales from three drinks on your menu? Shame on you.

Sincerely,
Ty Komjati

I prefer mine to have a conscience too.
