So, fine Starbucks is promoting the new Mitch Albom book. But how creepy is this, I've been in several Starbucks with the manager's ringing endorsement of the book appearing on their on their oh-so-friendly hand-written blackboards. The scary thing is the endorsements are identical, verbatim. But because they're handwritten they appear genuine. It's deceitful and manipulative. You think?

It's a marketing gimmick. Who would care about the managers recommendations on anything?

I think that managers work for a company and their job is to promote and maximize sales regardless of him silly or stupid an idea is.

That's what franshise is. It depends really I guess. I see why some would think its misleading, but doesn't surprise me after seeing how others market their crap.
