Amazing in these times of “economic hardship” how generous people seem to be. I see no difference in the amount of disposable income people seem to expend. Starbucks isn’t really getting any less bussiness on a week to week basis.
There was a guy who was tragically shot and killed over a robbery in Green Hills here in Nashville. Some people from the Green Hills Starbucks (located in front of location of the robbery) came into my store to set up a memorial donation jar for the victim. I’ve never seen a jar fill so quickly. Not just with change or ones, but with fives and tens. People were moved almost to tears as they donated. Listen, Americans are some of the most generous people. So often we see a need in our community and we give. I am so proud to see the generosity of my customers. And we don’t even need the government to tell us when to give. It’s amazing.
