Quick update on the scuffle that Starbucks is instigating against HaidaBucks. Click on title article for a link to an April 16 Seattle Post Intelligencer article. The Vancouver Sun had noted that HaidaBucks serves Seattle’s Best Coffee, a Starbucks rival, but the Post Intelligencer reports that on the 16th Starbucks bought that company. It kind of makes Starbucks’s suit even more ridiculous; see the PI article for more quotes from the owners. Oh, and correction: they played basketball together, not baseball. If you want to help HaidaBucks, you could send your thoughts via an email to Starbucks by visiting this link:
