Starbucks CEO to earn under $10k salery in 2009.

Not to hijack the thread too much, but as far as I'm concerned, Starbucks is the devil.

1. They use metal filters, which allow caffeisol into the brew. (That's a bad cholesterol, btw, which paper filters remove).

I worked at Starbucks for 2 months at the tail end of 2007, just before the marketcrash began. We used paper filters at the store location I worked at. So unless business practice has changed since then...

2. Even a one cup a day habit, times each customer, adds up to a huge increase in landfill every year.

And Starbucks is the only one selling coffee?

3. A one cup a day habit easily costs a customer over a thousand dollars per year. I can think of better uses for a thousand bucks, such as retirement and/or college savings.

Um, if the consumer decides it's worth it to spend $1000 a year on coffee, this is somehow the fault of a coffee company?

Think of all the money, environment and cholesterol saved if we all just brewed our coffee at home like in the good old days.

Agreed, but how does this make Starbucks the devil?
