Roots

I “love” Starbucks. Aside from their below par customer service, and just a tad below decent coffee quality my favorite thing about Starbucks is seeing Guatemalan coffee sold at a very high price. Starbucks is a corporations regardless of any angle you view it, so it must have purchased the Guatemalan coffee at a very low rate. What’s the funny to me, in a comical but perverse way is the high priced Guatemalan coffee is from Atitlan - which is where my indigenous roots preside, and also where my family’s coffee plantation awaits. Starbucks is of course ripping you off, but the beans are quality - when fresh.
