I was sitting at a Starbucks on the weekend (one of few luxuries I treat myself to in the ritzy part of town) and an elderly man approached the doorway to beg for money. Immediately the man pictured above ran outside, blocked the man from entering, and asked him to leave. I am not criticizing Starbucks, or trying to initiate a conversation on the ethics of multinationals...I am just saying this experience was hard for me. It was extremely difficult to sit on "this side" of the Starbucks bouncer. That being said, it did remind me of why I am here. I will also make more of an effort to seek out some locally run businesses.
