Starbucks Commitment to the UK
Following a number of stories in the media over the last day about Starbucks and the amount of tax we pay each year, I believe it's important that we share the facts with you on this important issue.
The most important thing to understand is that Starbucks does pay tax in the UK. Indeed over the last three years we have paid over £160 million in various taxes including National Insurance contribution for our 8,500 UK employees, and business rates.
The truth of the matter is, the one tax that has been debated in the media, corporation tax, is based on the profits we make in this country – and regrettably we are not yet as profitable as we'd like to be. Is our ambition to be much more profitable, and therefore pay more corporation tax? Absolutely right, and that is why we are making long-term investments in the UK, creating new jobs, opening new stores and delivering new and innovative products for our customers.
The UK represents a very important market for us and I want to be really clear about what contribution we make to the country. Yes, we pay our taxes, but we are here to invest and grow the business. We have raised capital to invest in 5,000 new jobs and open 300 new stores up and down the country. We are also creating 1,000 apprenticeship positions. We contribute to Britain by buying local products such as cakes, milk, sandwiches and using local suppliers to do things like store design and renovation. I am confident these kinds of investments will make us more profitable in the future, and as a result, the corporation tax we pay will increase.
I also wanted to clear up some misapprehensions about a few aspects of our business that have impacted our financial performance: how we source and roast our coffee beans, the royalty we pay to use the Starbucks brand in the UK and the competitive nature of selling coffee in the UK.
Let me start with the beans. To achieve economies of scale for the region we have a buying operation in Switzerland and a shared roasting plant in Amsterdam – it doesn't make good business sense for wholesale bean buying or roasting to happen in each country. So for the UK we buy and roast our coffee in Europe, the same as other Starbucks businesses in the region.
In terms of the fees we pay to use the Starbucks brand, we pay a royalty levied against our revenues to use the brand in the UK. This is applied wherever we operate in the world at a consistent rate, as is the case for many other global brands.
Finally, the UK is one of the most competitive places to sell coffee in the world and this has had a real impact on the profits we make and therefore the corporation tax we generate. There are three reasons for this. The rent we pay on our stores here in the UK is among the highest in the world. We spend more on the quality of our coffee than our competitors – offering 100% Arabica and 100% Fairtrade espresso coffees. We also spend more on store design so the customer experience is as good is it could possibly be. We have heard that these investments in quality are important to our customers and they are certainly important to us – and well worth the investment. We haven't always got it right in the past but all of these initiatives, and our focus on making sure we give British customers what they want and need, have put us on a track for growth.
I want to say that this is a really important issue to me and to Starbucks. The UK is one of the most dynamic espresso markets in the world, and we're proud to do business and pay taxes here. As we continue to grow, we will employ more and more partners and contribute to the communities where we do business in new and meaningful ways.
Thank you for listening and I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions.

In 2007 your COO told analysts that the UK unit's profits were funding Starbucks' expansion overseas. Your CFO added that the UK enjoyed operating profit margins of almost 15% - nearly £50m in profit.
A year later, after filing a £26m loss in the UK, your CEO, told investors the business here was so successful he planned to apply the lessons in the US. Your CFO called the UK business "profitable" in 2009 after accounts revealed a record £52m loss.
Not only you evade taxes, you are a liar too.

How can Starbucks tell Companies House and HMRC that its UK business is loss-making but tell analysts in SEC-regulated calls that the UK business is profit-making, without either making misleading financial statements or filing false accounts? I can't wait to hear Troy Alstead explain that to Margaret Hodge.

I am writing to my MP too and to the Director of the Serious Fraud Office concerning this utterly cynical treatment by Starbucks of UK authorities. I am totally aghast at PAYE and NI charges being cited as corporate profits taxes by Starbucks's muppet UK management. This behaviour would not be tolerated in the US so why does Starbucks insult each and every one of us here in the UK by lying ? I hope that Starbucks ends up facing British justice for the tax dodging fraudsters they apparently are

Your first thoughts were: "The most important thing to understand is that Starbucks does pay tax in the UK. Indeed over the last three years we have paid over £160 million in various taxes including Pay As You Earn (PAYE) for our 8,500 UK employees, national insurance and business rates".
- antio82
- 17/10/2012 12:00
Amazing!! You actually changed your statement after you realised that PAYE is tax YOUR EMPLOYEES pay out of THEIR salary, and not tax YOU pay!
That says HEAPS about how you approach this subject.
Thanks for spotting it Simongoodley72. I guess Starbucks lawyers aren't as quick...

Royalties are payments made for using intellectual property that is not owned.
Starbucks Corporation owns the Starbucks brand. Starbucks Corporation owns Starbucks UK. Starbucks has been paying itself 6% turnover to use something it already owns. What was going to happen if Starbucks UK didn't pay - Starbucks was going to sue itself? Absolutely ridiculous and laughable.
- terryos
- 17/10/2012 12:31
I've written to my MP asking for Parliament and the Revenue to investigate what looks like tax evasion to me - pretending to pay royalties for something already owned in order to pay no corporation tax for a decade. I'm going to run down the balance on my Starbucks card and then I'll never enter your stores again. Ethical business? You must be joking.
- PirateTimelord
- 17/10/2012 12:39
You say you are committed to opening around 300 new stores? How then do you explain the closure of so many stores in recent weeks/ coming weeks? I can't claim I know much about it, but given comments around these closures on your social media pages, the sites were regularly busy, and thus I'd expect were profitable. Surely it would therefore be more cost effective to have kept these stores open, rather than closing them, and subsequently having to locate premises and open new stores?

I'm really disappointed in reading about how you as a company have evaded paying your fair share of tax by setting up in Swizerland. For years I've been a loyal customer, buying into the 'fairtrade' sales pitches, appreciating the little hand drawn smiley faces on my paper cup...
... but no more. I'm gone - you greedy bastards don't deserve my money.

Wow, Starbucks pays national insurance. Yawwwwwn. So do all uk companies.
There is a big difference between mere tax savings for genuine legitimate reasons and the continual non payment of any corporation tax whatsoever by abusing the tax system.
I want to see all corporations operating in the uk paying proportionate rates of tax and contributing their true fair share to the uk economy.
Come on George Osborne, sort out these tax free operations.

One question about your great tax dodge.
Do any of your staff receive government benefits like Working Tax credits of Housing Benefits?
I would assume at least some of them do with Starbucks pay rates, especially in London. That would mean, as you are fiddling you books to make it look like you are taking a loss, that the public are paying to top up the wages of your staff.
IE Im paying tax through my wages which is then used to subsided the poor wages that Starbucks pays its staff.
- shadowmatt
- 18/10/2012 02:31
Also Kris, as the Managing director of a failing company, one that consistently posts a loss are you not considering resigning. There is no point rewarding failure.
Do you have a business plan for when people can no longer afford your coffee, or if / when power stations cannot meet capacity and we start having blackouts. What happens when your staff are taken ill. Do you use our roads, ports, police and other services in the running of your company. All these examples are funded by Tax.

Dear Mr Engskov,
Why are you looking to open more stores when your accounts show tens of millions of pounds of losses each and every year?
Why do you tell investors that the UK business is profitable yet show losses in your UK accounts? Which is true?
Who audits your accounts?
You state you will pay tax 'to the letter of the law' and also state you have 'the highest ethical standards' - do you agree that your lack of tax contribution to the UK shows the lowest ethical standards?
- shadowmatt
- 18/10/2012 02:34
Kris, if you want to make a lot of money in low tax countries where government expenditure is kept to a minimum have you not considered moving to a country like Sudan or the Congo?
In these places little or no tax is collected and as a result your profits won't be wasted on such things like police, infrastructure or competent government. You would be free to make as much money as possible in a less controlling environment than we are obviously forcing you to operate in now.
- shadowmatt
- 18/10/2012 02:41
One final point. I hope you realise you are attacking your customers with your aggressive tax avoidance. Funnelling money out of the UK by declaring loses when you are very profitable is damaging to our economy and is a factor in why we are currently struggling.
It would be nice if you saw your tax payments as an investment in the UK and that a strong UK would probably lead to higher profits in the long term.
- shadowmatt
- 18/10/2012 02:49
Have you considered what would happen if there was a fire in one of your London stores now we are having to close 1/4 of the fire stations in London with the loss of hundreds of jobs?
I bet if the Fire Service didn't turn up or were late you would be all over TV criticising them and demanding better service. Yet it is you who refuses to pay TAX for services like these.
Have any of your stores been damaged in riots or protests? There is going to be a lot less police in the future.

I am deeply disappointed about the whole affair and feel I have been misled by promises on the one hand (ethical sourcing) and disingenuous behaviour towards our very own society on the other.
What is even more frustrating is that it seems (current) Starbucks UK management still think they have a defendable position in this all.
The only solution is: Admit, Quit & Turn it around.
My hope is Starbucks Global Management will make clean ship as soon as possible.

Kris, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but nobody is being taken in by your woolly attempts at justifying your company's aggressive tax-avoidance. You're talking like a politician trying to media-manage a scandal. It discredits you and insults us.
It's simple: Starbucks must pay the appropriate amount of UK corporation tax - not the amount it can get away with, but the appropriate amount - or I won't buy your coffee again and nor will thousands of others. There are plenty of other options.

Use a local coffee shop where they know how to make really fantastic coffee for less money, with better service; where they are primarily interested in your enjoyment of what they do, above all else. I've recently been converted to a local coffee shop - small, comfy sofas, good wifi, very helpful staff, dog-friendly. The best coffee I've ever had. Come on Starbucks, play fair, stop avoiding taxes and raise your game to meet what you claim. Do the right thing.

Stop Lying Kris.
You're tax dodging and stealing money from my pocket and those of the other tax payers in the UK who are paying more to reduce our budget deficit. Your tax dodging is stealing money from those whose benefits are cut to reduce the deficit. I have been a loyal Starbucks customer, but in the current environment i cannot morally give my custom to a company so bereft of social conscience.

Starbucks are now damaged goods and no amount of feeble excuses will change that. I have not bought a Starbucks since "tax-gate" and probably will not again. I'm hoping that they are punished financially to at least the tune of the avoided tax (not) paid to date!
For me its now Costa or Nero's all the way.
Congratulations Starbucks.

So to be clear - while you have removed the direct reference to it, the £160million of tax quoted in your blog still includes PAYE? A tax on your employees NOT on Starbucks. Perhaps you would like to consider revising this figure to give a more accurate reflection of your tax affairs?

The statement is just PR waffle. The deliberately vague "various taxes", which could be PAYE, NI contributions, VAT etc - not corporation tax which is what we want to know, how much tax is Starbucks paying on their income/ profit ? And then the evasive "not yet as profitable as we'd like to be" - which dodges the question: are you making profits or not ? So the MD decides to dig an even deeper hole - goodbye reputation and goodbye customers...

Heard about this despicable situation, and thought I'd lend my voice of support from over here in the US.
I will be boycotting Starbucks, and telling everyone I know to do so as well.
This is yet another company thinking that being ethical is about putting a logo on packaging. Over here we are tired of all the big corporations thinking they can do whatever the hell they like just because they employ people. Job creators! But if Starbucks went bankrupt, a 1000 others could take their place

Starbucks PR release is both spurious and devious.
It would be far better for UK inc. if we all took our coffee in cafe's that did not pay out huge royalties and use overseas suppliers to drain out all of the profits from the UK into lower tax countries. The employment taxes and VAT generated would be the same with a fair level of corporation tax on top.
Boycott Starbucks until they play fair.
I expect they won't unless the HMRC makes them - come on HMRC you need to tackle these corporations.

Dear Kris, regarding your purchasing operation in Switzerland for raw coffee beans. Is this yet another transfer pricing dodge? I understand that raw beans are shipped into warehouses in Holland and not Switzerland.
If this is not transfer pricing what is the rationale behind this?
I had beleived Starbucks to be an ethical and decent company....is this just window dressing?
- 20/10/2012 02:59
Dear Kris,
Since my last post I have Googled 'Starbucks' and found other disturbing other very disturbing reports on your company;
- Paying part time staff in the USA just under the qualifying 20 hours so that receive health benefits...is this true?
-Starbucks took a small coffee roaster to court for offering a product named 'Charbucks' and Starbucks lost the case? link https://blackbearcoffee.com/Starbucks/What%27s_it_all_about.htm

It appears that the £160M various taxes includes £87M in VAT, which I assume is the tax that you take from your customers upfront on anything you sell in the UK.

I think you people need to understand a few basic points:
(1) Starbucks is a high volume, low margin sales business so you can't talk the amount of CT it pays in the context of 3 billion revenues. Instead, you need to consider the profits (only a very small % of sales revenue).
(2) Starbucks is avoiding tax by paying a royalty to the US, really?? They are saving tax at 23% in the UK, but paying tax on income in the US at 40% +.
- starfucksup
- 12/11/2012 09:03
@enyxraj1 - Wouldn't the profits "remitted" to the USstill be taxed at 40% in the US, the UK tax paid being offset against this amount, so provided UK corporation tax is below 40% the company should be indifferent to where the profits are made.......exept the US tax office benefits instead of the UK
- karlosfargis
- 13/11/2012 02:18
Profits made outside the USA are only taxed if sent back there. Over $1.5 trillion in profits from all US companies are kept overseas. So no tax is paid in the USA either.
The royalties were subject to a combined tax rate in the Netherlands and the US of approximately 16% - from Starbucks themselves.
- dr_mimm
- 13/11/2012 02:28
Re: (2) According to Troy Alstead, Starbucks' chief financial officer, royalities paid to the Netherlands were subject to a combined tax rate in the Netherlands and the US of approximately 16%. The UK's main corporation tax rate is 24%.
The royalty rate was 6% of sales, but has since been reduced. But there are other ways they're keeping the money out of the UK (and thus away from UK taxes) too.

Starbucks has low marginal costs but high fixed costs. Therefore its level of profit depends where it is relative to its breakeven position.
Given the occupancy levels in my local outlets before this disclosure, I'd say they were operating well above breakeven and with considerable profits. Nowadays thinks are definitely quieter so their profits are bound to fall in an exaggerated manner.
I'll only go back once they stop using tax driven transfer pricing.
- enyxraj1
- 24/10/2012 04:24
(3) Other low tax jurisdictions? Netherlands CT rate is between 20-25%, Switzerland up to 22% (because the various Swiss Cantons also levy tax on companies in addition to the federal CT). The UK rate is 23% for FY13, reducing to 22% in FY14! Understand the context because spouting nonsense.

Clearly this distorts competition, where local domestic coffee shops have to pay tax on their profits they will be at a disadvantage to those that can strip profit out and pay a lower tax rate. PAYE, VAT and Rates are paid by all businesses.............unless Starbucks have found a rates wheeze too?
After5 years of regular morning and evening coffee from Starbucks, my coffee buying has shifted to Nero's, difficult to see anything that will change it back and it is no futher to walk!

The only kudos you will get from me is allowing this to be open to comments. Beyond that everything about it stinks. This statement/ clarification is a joke. It is very clear that you have been dishonest in your dealings and totally unethical. For a company that bangs on about ethics that is unforgiveable as it smacks of total duplicity. To claim VAT, NI & PAYE as tax revenue is frankly ludicrous. To claim losses is ridiculous.Your policy in the UK was aggressive & detrimental from the outset. 2/

- 13/11/2012 01:25
Actually, this is a good response from Starbucks.
There are three issues here:
1. Starbucks is not yet really profitable in the UK.
2. Corporation tax is paid on profit, not revenue, which is how journalists are reporting this. Whether this is through ignorance or a desire to 'stoke the fire', it's bad journalism.
3. Companies, including Starbucks, use legal and lawful ways to reduce their tax liability. I would and so would you. For legislation, blame the politicians.
Craig Le Grice
- Petlorenzo
- 13/11/2012 02:04
They are issues so let's consider them:
1. We do not know if they are profitable or not. The accountancy is designed to baffle they claim no profitability on the one hand but to investors claim profitability.
2. Yes the clarification is justified but not all journos are misleading. The issue comes back to honesty over profit or loss. Starbucks made it worse by justifying tax position by including business rates, NI etc.
3. Whilst lawful the increasing opaque structures are immoral & unethical
- karlosfargis
- 13/11/2012 02:22
Journalists are not reporting it as a tax on revenue. They are reporting correctly.
The simple truth is that Starbucks are using royalty payments to themselves as a way to reduce profit to zero so as to avoid paying tax.
It's a duty to pay tax, for the things that it provides the country as a whole. Otherwise we wouldn't have roads, street lighting, schools, hospitals or social services of any kind.
As a strategist, are you being paid or have you ever been contracted by Starbucks?

Perhaps you need to spend some time reading up on Social Media. Might help you to undertand when and how to leave a comment in favour of the client. Especially on a blog post that is simply flawed and until amended, didn't show any knowledge of who carries the burden of paying PAYE.
- Petlorenzo

2/2 You sort to corner the market literally buying out the competition creating a de facto monopoly. If that was a business model it sure is broken. Your attempts to justify your avoidance was pathetic and your statement self-serving. If companies like yours want to make money (or ok, try) then you must pay tax fairly or frankly leave. The jobs would be absorbed by more honest traders (and frankly companies serving drinkable coffee- your product really is very very bad). Go away, try again.
- Petlorenzo
- 13/11/2012 01:34
just looking at this nonsense again...you are justifying your tax avoiding position by including "business rates"! Give me strength. As for your apprentice positions, 1,000 you say, out of 5,000 presumably at no wage, subsidised by govt money or lowest wage possible. This in turn raises questions - do you pay a living wage or minimum wage or above minimum wage? The issue over the claim of profitability has not been cleared up and suggests a lie to investors? Could raise problems in USA if true.

I've defended my patronage of Starbucks to the raised eyebrows of friends and family for years. Citing the ethically sourced beans, wide availability of soya milk etc. But this is a completely unacceptable situation, for which there can be no legitimate defence. Unless, as others have already pointed out, Starbucks genuinely ARE making a loss in the UK - which seems highly unlikely given the continued growth of the chain in this market and the reports to investors of profitablilty

[1/1] Starbucks (nor any other coffee provider) don't *create* jobs per se. Demand for coffee creates those jobs, Starbucks (and other coffee houses) benefit from that demand. There is a general myth that business are "job creators" whereas even a rudimentary understanding of economics shows that consumers create jobs in two ways:
- wr0ng1
- 13/11/2012 09:45
(1) they buy things or want to buy things, which sets up demand
(2) they work jobs in order to get money to buy things, which allows resources to be turned into commodities.
Business BENEFIT from this, they aim to get out more than what they put in from this demand and workforce. If these businesses went bankrupt, their niche would be filled by another business, but it is the demand and work which *creates* jobs.
- arkange1
- 13/11/2012 02:02
Do you *really* believe what you've written? Why do you find it so difficult to admit that you have a corporate policy to avoid tax and export profits? It's not illegal. Just perhaps not as ethical as your Fairtrade coffee aspires to be. But this is not just an issue of ethics and corporate responsibility, it's critically one of Competition. The independent coffee shops you help put out of business pay their corporate taxes. By avoiding tax through creative accounting you compete unfairly.

I can't add anything to the comments above but I will comment on this: -
"it doesn't make good business sense for wholesale bean buying or roasting to happen in each country"
As anyone who knows anything about espresso knows, freshness of the roasted beans is paramount to the final product quality, roasting the beans as close as possible to the point of use to avoid delays between roasting and use is essential to a prefect espresso, something you know nothing about from tasting your product.

Dear Starbucks,
I really think you are missing the point entirely in trying to justifying this.
You have found ways to squeak these accounts through using various techniques permitted by UK law over a number of years.
However the negative impact on how your business is perceived by us, the UK people coupled with what looks like a poorly constructed corporate social responsibility is looking like it's going to bite you right on the bum bum!
Thanks for listening,

I think that you are missing the point - Starbucks are using creative accounting to avoid UK Corporation tax by remitting UK profits to Amsterdam as 'royalties' - while this might be legal it is not ethical, particularly if this gives you competitive advantage against local independents who pay tax on their profits.
Your business is about coffee and your customers - you pursuit of profits could conflict with these core objectives.

High rental costs? How do all the other businesses on the high street get by?
Pay various taxes? National Insurance is a tax but it is on employing people.
Please elaborate on "various taxes."
Royalty fee: this is nonsense and purely a way to reduce your profit. Are you a franchise and so not a part of the Starbucks corporation? If so, you should be closed down immediately and seek bankruptcy in the courts.
Your excuses are poor. 2/10 Must try harder.

This is really a message to all brands / companies / businesses who want to operate in the UK. If you operate here you pay tax here on all transactions openly & transparently - otherwise quit. HSBC threatened to quit, the govt should have told them to go. Global brands leech money from communities & the country creating unfair burdens on others whilst paying millions to overseas investors, hedge funds, equity cos and so on.
If you don't want to play fair then leave. Others would fill the gap.

Personally, I see this as a matter of social responsibility.
You can talk long and hard about the legal framework and hide behind that for as long as you like. But Starbucks use it to do one thing only, maximise profit. That's not a bad thing in itself but social responsibility has a cost if you really want to do it. So pay the tax.
From me, I will not be using Starbucks until they pay it.

Dear Kris Engskov,
WE ARE NOT MUGS!!! Your company is massive and it is beyond belief that you do not make any profits in this country. You are siphoning off your companies profits through overseas subsidiaries so you are actively avoiding tax in this country. Whilst this is totally legal it is also totally IMORAL and you simply cannot expect to keep your customers when you are effectively shafting the country you are making so much money in. PAY YOUR BLOODY TAX
p.s. PAYE & does NOT count!!!!

The reason you have an operation in Switzerland is to avoid taxes.
And the reason you pay a license fee to license your own product is to avoid taxes.
To put it in perspective, and to answer the idea that this is somehow normal free market practice, if you tried the same thing in the US, the feds would be at your door in a heartbeat.

"buying operation in Switzerland and a shared roasting plant in Amsterdam"
Why is the "buying operation" not in the same country as the roasting plant? Do the beans pass through Switzerland on the way to the plant? Do you have an operational reason other than "tax efficiency" for the buying to take place through a Swiss company?

So; you've demonstrated that you really don't get it at all.
You've failed to realise that your weaselling about paying other taxes etc makes no difference; you are now seen to be (a) at best dissembling, at worst lying, and (b) tax dodgers at a time of cuts. Choose to do the right thing or not - I suspect you may be surprised by the results on your business if you choose "not". It's about perception, and you are not perceived well at all. Perhaps you don't care. You will.

It seems to me that the mothership can charge what "licence fees" it like and the UK outfit has to pay that. But since, in reality the UK outfit is owned by the mothership it's all about the tax dodge. Royalty fees will be the mechanism by which Starbucks gets to decide where the profit goes.
I imagine those royalty fees are never the same from one year to the next. I imagine they are also decided retrospectively near the end of a tax year. If that was done each year it would be "consistent"

There seems to be a world of difference between the message you are giving out currently (poor us we are not v profitable) & which you give to investors (look at us-we're doing just fine).We are not mugs -in the UK we expect companies to pay a fair share of taxation - most do. To mask your profits using cross charges to other territories may be legal but it's immoral. I will not use Starbucks again until you change your ways. A small gesture of around £400 revenue. I hope many others follow suit

If Starbucks "spend[s] more on store design so the customer experience is as good is it could possibly be," why are your stores so unpleasant?
The decor has been that same molded wood-effect veneer and dusty
sofa combination forever. I can't remember going to one that's not been filthy.. The food you serve is bland and largely unhealthy. The same can be said for the drinks. The staff - 'partners' as they're called, absurdly and misleadingly on another one of these damage-limitation missives...

Oh and spare us that 'the red cups are coming!' marketing ritual, it's wearing very thin and starting to sound like some kind of creepy death knell.

When we all have to pay our taxes in full and so many vital services that people depend on such as day centres and care services are forced to close, isn't it 'immoral' to act to shift UK-based profit offshore to escape high tax bills? I won't buy your immoral coffee and I urge others to do likewise until you do the decent thing.

Stop telling lies and pay your **** taxes like everyone else. This idea that you're not profitable in the UK is a total joke.

I have opened this account with Starbucks JUST to tell the company how
disgusted I am with their tax avoidance. There is no way you are trading
in this country without making a handsome profit. Therefore you should
pay all the tax due in this country.
Small independent coffee shops pay taxes at an appropriate level and so
should you.I will no longer be buying coffee from you in the same way I am boycotting other tax avoiding companies.

Guys how are you all being so negative?
Their accounts explained it to me.
Starbucks pay 20% VAT on everything they buy and then have to pay it too when customers give them money for items. So 40% tax!

LOL er no. That's not how it works. Starbucks will record the VAT they pay on suppliers goods and services and how much is paid on their goods and services. Then if there's a difference they'll either get a refund (if they pay more to suppliers) or they'll have to pay (if their customers paid more).

First of all, I want to say I don´t like coffee from their stores. But it is a nonsense to blame the corporation for global economic crisisI consider their products to have an inferior quality and therefore don´t go there. I am convincedStarbucks is doing much better job than McDonalds and KFC, because it is based on fair trade products, it cares about environment and does not build horrible stores for its products.

Ummm, in all this vitriol nobody seems to have picked up on the two most shocking statements in this. That Starbucks creates "innovative products" and that the UK is "one of the most dynamic espresso markets in the world" Putting hazlenut syrup into coffee isn't innovative, it's depressing, and the UK market is dominated by buckets of warm coffee flavoured milk. I mean seriously, when's the last time you heard someone order an espresso in ANY chain shop or most independents for that matter.

It's very easy to hate a faceless, immoral company that only cares about profit but much harder to hate a person. What I really want to do is to look Kris Engskov and the other people in charge in the eye and tell them that they are heartless people who are depriving our nation of the money it legally deserves - money that would be spent on the people who need it, including services like HEALTHCARE. Don't any of them dare say that they are an ethical business.

I'm appalled at what has come to light. Starbucks expand rapidly in the UK, tell shareholders they make 15% margin, then for tax benefits start to resell coffee they already own via a tax benefical country, at a higher rate to the UK in order to operate at a loss for HMRC. PR Citing VAT and employers tax as their input. It's laughable that they proclaim a loss and promote the guy in charge. I was a 4x a week starbuckser – no more! Companies like this are ruining our country.

Like many of those commenting above me, I've only created a Starbucks account in order to post on this blog.
Mr. Engskov. Please take on board what is being said to you here. We are not stupid. It would be much more admirable for your company to admit that what it has done is wrong, and that you will pay tax in the future. I fear you will not.
One of the main reasons that the UK is facing another recession is because major corporations don't pay their fair share of tax. This isn't the end.

I've taken my annual approx £300 'coffee' spend elsewhere and I won't be setting foot in Starbucks again. I've told my girlfriend and friends to do likewise. On the work coffee run we don't go to Starbucks anymore. So all together that's potentially circa £1,000 annual revenue going to other 'coffee' chains who pay their taxes.
If you make money from British people then pay tax in Britain.
- Kellyklf76

How can you honestly say you made a loss that big? Wouldn't you just pull out the UK and say it's not profitable, I know I would. You are just a bunch of thieving liars. I will not spend another penny in Starbucks in this country again! Mr Engskov you should become a politician, waffle waffle and avoid the real subject. If what you say about paying to use the roasting house and a royalty to a parent company is true, then all I can say is get a new name, MD and start again.

You claim 'it doesn't make good business sense' to source your beans in the UK. Surely it also doesn't make good business sense to open 300 new stores if you're not making substantial profit. A simple apology and repayment of the tax you've dodged would have sufficed, but what you've written is instead an insult to the taxpayer and also the readers' intelligence.My workplace only sells starbucks coffee, so we've decided to all buy flasks and bring in our own instead. You are part of the problem.

Until you take a demonstratably social responsible approach to UK taxes, my family having having been loyal and regular Starbucks customers, will use Costa. Your cynical approach will cost you customer loyalty and sales in the long term, potentially life long. If you can be so disingenuous about your taxes, why should we believe your ethical position/statements on coffee farmers.......bad brand management..... : (

I've been reading this since the start but didn't want to jump on and say I am boycotting Starbucks until I had been doing it for a while and could claim it as a behaviour, not as a mere intention.
I am a frequent frothy coffee drinker, as are many of my friends and family and you have lost us all. I know lots of work colleagues who are also avoiding you now.
My switch to Costa has been total and you have much work to do if you ever wish me to step over your doors again.

- 03/12/2012 01:50
The switch to Costa has not been particularly irksome. However this weekend when doing a motorway journey to London I realised I had to skip past one of my regular service station stops as it only has Starbucks.
It made me wonder if the service stations realise they are losing people like me who are driving on by because of Starbucks?

I think a new thread should be started regarding the Freetrade scam.
1-Fair Trade Is Essentially a Marketing Organization
2-Faitrade keeps poor farmers poor
3-Companies like Starbucks use Faitrade to justify charging more for poor quality coffee
The FLO (Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International) sets a floor price of $1.40 per pound of coffee, which is supposed to be a "higher than market" price, but is actually hardly more than what growers were being paid to begin with. ...
- mgpb1936
- 03/12/2012 05:29
Fairtrade scam...continued
A recent study in the Netherlands found that despite the higher prices consumers were being charged for Fair Trade coffee, less than 12 percent of that money was actually reaching the growers. That is, none of that revenue they were responsible for producing was making it back to their countries in any way (see "literal definition of exploitation," above). ...to be continued

- - Why can't I find herding? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/herding/484033-why-cant-i-find-herding.html)
Why can't I find herding?
Ok. I've tied before and always get nowhere. I'm trying to find a herding training facility and or evaluation site near essex NJ. I'm aware i might have to drive 30 mins or so.
Problem is, when I find some, I never receive any information back when I try to confirm a visit.
Thanks for any and all help or advise.
Just looking for a new fun way to work/train/play with my boy to keep expanding his mental stimulation and growth
You could also try Agility. Or maybe joining a GSD club in your area.
I would try calling. My herding trainer has email but is terrible about it. Also, maybe check the AKC and AHBA event listings to see if there are any events in your area coming up.
I would also expand your drive time to at least an hour. I have never driven less than an hour to go herding.
Herding trainers are notorious for being hard to get into contact with, it seems!
Pretty sure he has clients that come from NJ for training. Usually does a few lessons in a weekend for you. Trial is coming up on Oct 11th. Going to watch. Hopefully either both of my pups or one of them will be suitable for training when they are old enough.
Truly pasture raised lambs. White Clover Sheep Farm
Thank you every one. Glad it's just not me, with the ol getting a hold of them lol. I figured I would have to drive an hr also, but threw out the 30 min ride for wishful dreaming lol.
I'm not to sure about agility, as from what I've seen, (granted not much) everything just seems to restricted.
The idea with herding was, as I could be wrong also, but more opened, interaction with animals. (I really am interested in this, as I have ferrets and cats at home that my boy interacts with) I wanted to expand on this and grow. M boy has already started to with me follow my hand signs while out running.
I take him out for fetch/tug-reinforcement drills in open parks or fields. He seems to love it, as he can explore off via himself, chase squires and birds, and while in chase I call him back to a heal, or Platz with his tug to reinforce. He will also stalk and crouch down while moving. Slow to sneak up, while **** then freeze look back at me for an "ok" or just stares until I say go... Then off he chases. Things like this just give me the idea that hearding would be very rewarding for him. Even if it's something that he can just partly do. I also love being out and working with animals, so it gives us an amazing bonding partnership, just the two of us.
Sorry for the long responce. Just wanted to give a back story of what I'm looking for. If anyone has other ideas of things to look into that might be enticing, please let me know!
Thank you!!!!
there used to be a herding club in NJ but it died for lack of enough support...there were only 2 GSD herding (HGH) clubs in the US....now there is one only - in the Finger Lakes region that is mentioned above
:( :( :(
Wow this is really close to me. Perhaps we will think about it when my pup hits 1 year...we will be training for fly ball not too far from here!
This stinks... I'm tempted to buy some land and offer this. Would have to hire someone who knows how to teach it first lol..
The only AKC herding event in NJ was in Shamog. The Burlington County kennel club. I'm surprised there isn't more herding in NJ

Closing the Circle on the Splitting of the Atom
U.S. Department of Energy - Office of Environmental Management
The Environmental Legacy of Nuclear Weapons Production in the United States and
What the Department of Energy is Doing About It
Second Printing January 1996
This book describes existing environmental, safety, and health problems throughout the nuclear weapons complex, and what the Department of Energy is doing to address them. Because of the secrecy that until recently surrounded nuclear weapons production, many citizens today are unaware how and where nuclear weapons were made or the resulting environmental problems. Yet a broad public awareness is precisely what is needed now in order to address the many issues concerning the environmental legacy of the Cold War.
The aim of this book is to foster deeper public understanding to help hasten progress as the Department moves ahead on resolving these problems. In the midst of the complexities and uncertainties of such a challenge, one thing is clear: the task demands a similar – if not greater – level of commitment, intelligence, and ingenuity than was required by the Manhattan Project.

Think Local First daily update
Here's the update on the Think Local First County of Santa Cruz Great Money Race, which runs through Nov. 30 to see how much local business can be generated in a month by $500.

Suzanne Schettler with Greening Associates plans to spend her $100 check to pay her Cruzio Internet bill.
Three others have yet to decide where to spend the money. The list indludes: Roger Berke of Eco Goods in Santa Cruz, Tish O'Reilly owner of New Garden Nursery in Santa Cruz, and Deborah Hanson, manager of the Vitamins and Cosmetics Department at Staff of Life in Santa Cruz.
All five $100 checks were donated by local financial institutions. Checks must be cashed and spent at one of the 640 Think Local First member businesses to keep the money circulating locally. The Sentinel will provide updates Tuesday through Saturday on where the checks are.

Product Review Memo, August 29, 2011 - MenHibrix
Date: August 29, 2011
To: File for 125363/0
From: James E. Keller, Ph.D.
Through: Drusilla Burns, Chief
Subject: Product Review Memo of sponsor's responses to CR questions pertaining to Tetanus Toxoid Manufacturing and Testing
Sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)
Menhibrix CR comment review
On 12 August 2009, GSK submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) for Meningococcal Groups C and Y and Haemophilus b Tetanus Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine. The proprietary name is MenHibrix. On 11 June 2010, CBER issued a complete response (CR) Letter to the firm. On 14 April 2011, the firm submitted responses to the questions in the CR Letter.
I completed my review of the firm's responses to questions that I asked in the CR Letter taken from my original review memo from May 2010. The firm's responses have resolved all but one item (See Question 57). The details of my review of these items are contained below.
7 pages redacted due to (b)(4)
convert data between the two assays. This clarification adequately settles the concerns noted in Question 58.
58 (c) The lots in question, Lots ---b(4)-------------------------, are commercial purified --b(4)-------TT produced at commercial scale. These lots were used for the manufacture of Hiberix vaccine. I have no further concerns.
The following three comments were not included as CR items.
Comment 1: The firm needs to provide additional validation data supporting the currently proposed –b(4)----- period for purified, ----b(4)---------------------- TT.
This issue was covered by CR Question 25. Therefore, I withdrew this question from the CR Letter draft since Drs. Schmitt and Freedberg had already covered this concern.
Comment 2: The firm should provide validation data for the TT ----b(4)----------------------------- since it is the most pertinent test to assess antigen quality.
The firm stated that the –b(4)----- test is for monitoring purposes, therefore they did not submit validation data. This is acceptable.
Comment 3: The firm should provide the full validation report for the detection of ---b(4)------------------- The firm should explain why samples must be ---b(4)-------------------------------------- content. The passing specification is –b(4)-------- however the consistency lots demonstrate-b(4)---------- content is calculated using the lower limit of the calibration curve shown in Figure 17 (pp 95, Section 3.2.S.2.4).
Since the –b(4)------ test is a compendial test the firm did not submit validation data. Furthermore, the amount of –b(4)-------- in the vaccine is nearly eliminated from the product by subsequent isolation of ---b(4)--------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore, --b(4)----------- is substantially lower than the ---b(4)------ quantity that the firm targeted for safety levels. With the low-end –b(4)----------- content in the product the firm's rationale was considered acceptable.

BeschreibungOne of America's most popular Jewish writers, Chaim Potok (b. 1929) is the author of such novels as The Chosen (1967), The Promise (1969), The Book of Lights (1981), and Davita's Harp (1985). Each of his novels explores the tension between tradition and modernity, and the clash between Jewish culture and contemporary Western civilization, which he calls "core-to-core culture confrontation."Although primarily known as a novelist, Potok is an ordained Conservative rabbi and a world-class Judaic scholar who has also published children's books, theological discourses, biographies, and histories.Conversations with Chaim Potok presents interviews ranging from 1976 to 1999. Potok discusses the broad range of his writing and the deep influence of non-Jewish novels-in particular, Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man -- on his work. Interviews bear witness to Potok's many other influences -- Orthodox Jewish doctrine, Freudian psychoanalytical theory, Picasso's Guernica, and Jewish kabbalah mysticism.Though labeled an American Jewish writer, Potok argues that Flannery O'Connor should then be called an American Catholic writer and John Updike an American Protestant writer. "In his mind, " editor Daniel Walden writes, "just as Faulkner was a writer focused on a particular place, Oxford, Mississippi, . . . so Potok's territory was a small section of New York City."Potok often explores conflict in his writings and in his interviews. Strict Jewish teachings deem fiction an artifice and therefore unnecessary, yet since the age of sixteen Potok has been driven to write novels. At the root of all of these conversations is Potok's intenseinterest in the turmoil between Jewish culture, religion, and tradition and what he calls "Western secular humanism."As he discusses his work, he continually includes broader issues, such as the state of Jewish literature and art, pointing out with pride and enthusiasm hi

Persons needing more information may call Dawn Harmon at 265-4200 or email email@example.com.

Anmeldelser af denne bolig
This place was clean and quiet, quite a find in Paris, especially for this price. If you are open to multi-cultural experiences this is a fun area of Paris with African food restaurants and tasty mangos from Senegal from the grocer across the street. Other positive points are the bathtub, the many pots and pans to cook, and the extra room with space for yoga. If you are fearful and do not feel comfortable in crowds this is not the place for you as the streets are busy, also at night. Once you are in, it is quiet! The lock on the door was not secure, but I was told it was to be changed.
The apartment is really lovely, although kitchen was fairly small (as was the bath!), but a perfect size for the two of us. In a nice, lively area close to the centre and with easy access to all the main monuments and sights, especially the Sacre-Coeur which is a 5-10 minute walk away(!) Sarah was really helpful both before and after arrival and would definitely recommend this apartment.
We enjoyed our stay in this appartment with 2 small rooms, kitchen and bathroom. The bed was good. The television did not work. There is a bakery and some other shops at the other side of the street. Walking from the subway to the apparment you feel a bit in Africa, alle the shops and people are African.
The apartment is situated in the 18th in history known as 'La Goutte d'Or'. We loved it, the colors, the smells and sounds and the hurling crowds with people originating from the different countries from Africa. The accommodation was need, bit small for 4 persons but Paris had good weather for most of the time so no need tot stay in. Toilet and bath were not all that clean and the WC had little space between the sink and the washing machine. What surprised us was the quietness of the building, no noise from the outside and little from the inside.
All together a good price-quality ratio and a good starting point for exploring Paris.
Very tipical flat in Paris, so nice! The area is not the most beautiful in Paris but it's near to montmartre and the metro is only 2 minutes walk far from. Sarah is very kind and helpful.
If you want you can pay 30 euro for housekeeping or If not you can do it yourself.
The flat was exactly as was shown and described , very clean , quiet and comfortable. Perfect for few days stay. The Kitchen had everything you needed and Coffee machine was great.
Neighborhood was fine. cheaper supermarket across the road and Boulangerie on the corner. Sarah was quick to reply and key hand over was simple even after our train was delayed.
Will stay again and recommend.
The one drawback to our flat was that it was a little far out of central Paris, though that could be our fault for not giving location enough attention. Also the washing machine to ages to finish a cycle. Other than that our stay was extremely comfortable. The building was beautiful and the flat was quaint!
Sarah's Flat is incredibly central and clean and comfortable, but it is extremely small. However, in Paris, that is normal, but the images are deceptive.
We slept four women comfortably.
Although, this apartment is advertised as accommodating four people - when we arrived the second bed was not made up and when we looked for the linen to do it ourselves - we found it wet and still in the washing machine.
The towels were also all wet and draped about the place drying.
Sarah, asked for E30's for cleaning services after we had booked and paid for the accommodation, this in itself is fine - the problem we had was that the information was not given in the original advert so it was an extra cost we had not expected.
Overall, the apartment is central and clean - which is important. But make sure you check about extra costs and whether or not there will be any clean or dry linen and towels available before you book.

Which Ford Focus for autocross

I have been thinking about this for a while. Well, ever since STF was announced. I think my choices would be:
1: 2008 Focus S coupe
2: 2005 D23 ZX3 (2005 because it's easier to get decent off-the-shelf suspension easier than the 06+)
3: Early ZX3 (even lighter than the coupe, but not by enough to overcome the disadvantages IMO)
4: SVT Focus (I don't know any MY differences, so whichever low option model you can find)
Why the S Coupe?
The S coupe was dropped after 2008, the SE and SES models had options, which add weight. I'm guessing the steering wheel buttons, spoiler and the SES fogs are probably more than 30lbs, and the sync system is probably heavier than no sync.
The coupes were the one of the lightest Focii. 2008 coupe (2588lbs), 2005
ZX3 2654lbs (D23s are heavier), SVT Focus 2750lbs. And I'm guessing that the coupes have more to lose in STF trim too. I'm betting those airbag seats are heavy.
They also have aluminum brake calipers for slightly less unsprung weight.
And they have the stiffest chassis; Ford added a dash bar.
So, 100+lbs lighter, stiffer chassis, lighter brakes and the same 3.82 gears as the 2.3 ZX3s. I think that outweighs a 9hp and 18lb*ft deficit.
Would a fully prepped Focus be enough to beat Andy Hollis in his 2100lb (prepped weight) Mazda 2 of doom? I think on a bumpy-ish, open, not-slalom-heavy course, you could have a chance.
I'm neither and autocross expert nor a Focus guru, so if any of this information is inaccurate, that sucks.

Others may be looking to the 1960s for inspiration, but Auckland-based designer Celine Chapman went to the 90s with her A/W 12 collection, titled, rather fittingly, Addicted to Love.
This morning's show was the NZFW debut for the designer and her Celine Rita label, with a cute take on the darker side of 90s culture - think of witch film The Craft and the sexy outfits of true supermodels.
Chapman's palette was playful, with black and beige lace, bold floral prints, a blush pink 'ballet' print, fuzzy bomber jackets and crushed red velvet in the sexier supermodel section of the show (I can't decide whether that crushed velvet is perfectly 90s ironic or if it should have stayed in the 90s).
Other stand outs from the show included the floor-length long skirts with splits up the leg, bustier detailing on dresses, and, a 90s favourite that could be one of the key trends of this fashion week, turtleneck sweaters.
Oh yes, and the 90s soundtrack, including the track Polyester Girl.
OUR ONE-WORD REVIEW: Nineties.

Ok, we're done chirping. For the past month we've slowly rolled out news of WFNX's online resurrection, but tomorrow night the re-launch goes into party mode. Disorientation Night 1 crashes the Lansdowne Pub across from Fenway Park with a FREE show of blistering rock and roll goodness featuring New Jersey's THE STATIC JACKS, Boston's own CAMDEN, and DJ sounds by WFNX's latest addition, New Music Assistant LIZ PELLY (who was also just promoted to Assistant Music Editor of the Phoenix, hot damn).
RSVP here on our WFNX Disorientation page, and in the meantime get hip to Night 2 on Tuesday, October 23, a Boston Accents-flavored dance party featuring future pop superstars GENTLEMEN HALL (Cobi and Mike just performed the National Anthem before the recent Patriots game!), neon-forest electro-pop queen CASEY DESMOND, and yours truly spinning hot indie-dance jamz before, between, and after the bands.
It all leads up to our radio re-launch party on Tuesday, October 30, where you can join us as we officially plug in and go live on the air at midnight, ushering not only Halloween 2012, but a new era for WFNX.
Color us very excited.

I plan on upgrading right away on it's release. Here's my question: Will all of my programs and applications remain and be ready to go once the upgrade is complete?
Also, Windows 7 will just remove all of Vista and overwrite the information, right? I have no interest in having the 60GB or whatever the size of Vista is sitting unused.
