Encounter with a homeless man touches Starbucks regional manager

Here's a feel-good story about Starbucks regional manager Diana Kelly, who discovered their were people living in a woods and tried to help them.

The Washington Post reports: "She told customers who would listen about the scope of the problem, and they would shake their heads in disbelief as they bought their $5 drinks.

"Her stores began leaving a bin by the register to collect hotel toiletries, new socks, money. And every couple of weeks, she and other Starbucks employees would make packages to deliver to the homeless."

I love these little observations in the story: Kelly "wears Starbucks earrings and a glittery, rhinestone Starbucks belt buckle and drives an immaculate, black cherry-colored SUV."

[Don't do this again Mr. Schultz]

FFS does she this lady do any work? Promote me from Barista to RM and i'll show Starbucks some real value.

Instead of this nutjob RM raising money on company time and company premises for nutjob psychos living in the woods who have a talent for chasing people through fields with chainsaws.
