What's the point of certification if this still happens??
Marketing. Starbucks pays somebody to be able to say "if it happens, it's not my fault, I'm the victim here".
People that care about the impact of their choices as consumers can be hoodwinked and retained as loyal customer basis.
Let's face it: Even most people who read this thinks, "That sucks, someone should do something about that," then goes back to drinking Starbucks
More likely, the people drinking Starbucks aren't going to hear about a story from reporterbrasil.org.br
