Answer 1

First off I would think about what starbucks as a company is doing. They are not doing very good things in other countrys. Let me show you what I mean. This is one problem about what they are putting in their coffee.

Send an electronic letter to Starbucks CEO- Jim Donald
Help pressure Starbucks to remove genetically engineered ingredients from their food and dairy products on a worldwide basis, improve working conditions for coffee plantation workers, and brew and seriously promote fair trade coffee in all of their cafes.



Tell Starbucks to Give Ethiopian Farmers Their Fair Share

Each year, coffee companies make billions of dollars. Starbucks alone earned almost $5.8 billion in net revenues during the first three quarters of 2006.

With as many as 15 million Ethiopians dependent on coffee, Ethiopia has decided to get its farmers more of what they deserve. The country's government has asked Starbucks to sign a licensing agreement that will allow Ethiopia to control the names of its coffees. That way, Ethiopia can help determine an export price that makes sure farmers see a larger share of the profits enabling them to feed their children, send them to school and get them better healthcare.

Oxfam and a coalition of allies are asking Starbucks to sign this agreement. According to one coalition member, control of the name brands could increase Ethiopia's coffee export income by more than $88 million annually. This money could go a long way to help lift millions of Ethiopians out of poverty.

So please, help us convince Starbucks to sign this agreement with Ethiopia. Poor farmers deserve a fair share of the profits.

By taking this action a fax will be sent by Oxfam America, who will hold non-US details only for the purposes of confirming to Make Trade Fair that you've taken this action. Your details will be passed to Starbucks for them to reply to you and they may chose to retain your information.

Subject:
Please Give Ethiopian Farmers Their Fair Share

As a Starbucks customer, I'm concerned about your opposition to Ethiopia's right to own its coffee names. I am asking Starbucks to honor its commitment to farmers by signing an agreement with Ethiopia that recognizes the country's rights to the names of its coffees. If Starbucks and other companies sign such agreements, estimates suggest that Ethiopians could see up to $88 million of extra income a year.

Ethiopia ranks among the poorest countries in the world; more than 25 percent of its population lives on less than $1 per day. About 15 million people in Ethiopia depend on coffee to make a living, the majority of them growing their crop on small plots of about two and a half acres.

Meanwhile, coffee lovers pay up to $26 per pound for fine Ethiopian coffees because they're willing to pay for high quality and great taste. Ethiopian farmers, however, often earn just 5-10 percent of the retail value.

With this disparity in mind, the Ethiopian government launched a project to get legal ownership of its fine coffee names - Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, and Harar. By owning the names, Ethiopia will be able to occupy a stronger negotiating position with foreign buyers, capture a larger share of the market value associated with those names, and protect the reputations of its brand names. In a country with a per capita income of around $100 per year, that amount of money could have a profound impact on the lives of millions of Ethiopians.

As you know, Ethiopia approached Starbucks more than a year ago asking the company to lead by example and to discuss an agreement that would acknowledge Ethiopia's ownership of these names. So far, Starbucks has refused to sign the agreement, or even talk seriously about it with the Ethiopian government.

I want to see Starbucks do the right thing by the poor farmers who grow its coffee. I urge you to sign the licensing agreement and recognize Ethiopia's rightful ownership of its coffee names.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
[Your address]

Answer 2

I'd apply to more than one place, especially since you are in a college town. Competition for part-time jobs is fierce!

The salary should be from $7/hr on up, though if you aren't sure, just put negotiable. They will tell you what they will give you at this type of job.

You will need to fill out as much information on the application as possible. Also, you will need either your SS card or your birth certificate as well as a driver's license/photo ID once you get hired, so make sure you have those handy.

Good luck in your job search!!

Answer 3

First I would make sure this is another Starbucks along your way to work just so you will have a back up. What I think would be nice if you got a startbucks napkin, wrote your name and number, and ask "coffee sometime? :)" than your name and number and see what happens, When you give it to her make sure you smile!!! and say " its up to you....or you don't have to say anything at all. It's jsut a idea

Answer 4

salary can depend usually they get paid around 8 somethin so put 8 or lil higher and if you dont have ss# then leave it blank then ask them if you can still get hired?!
