What a meaningless waste of time
There's a guy that is trying to visit every Starbucks.
Here he is noticing a difference in the manager's business cards at a Starbucks in Arizona:
"These cards are different!" he says, staring at the store manager's business card, which he's grabbed from a stack at the register. "I haven't run into any other cards across the country that have this on the back." He analyzes the flip side, which uses an acrostic of the word "partner" to spell out why working at Starbucks is so rewarding. Holding the card up to the manager—who offers a confused smile—Winter continues, "And the card stock, it's thinner."
I've got to give him credit for this, though -- according to his own insane rules, he has to drink a cup of coffee at each store he visits for it to count. Even if he only ("only") gets to say five in a day ... that's a lot of rocket sauce.
He has his own web site, www.starbuckseverywhere.net.
