Starbucks

It was a grande-sized act of generosity.

So as you might remember, I watched "The Voice" season premiere on NBC last night (Sept. 24). I also live-tweeted it as it went along with my reactions to different parts of it.  It was fun, but I gotta admit, I was feeling a little cynical about the whole affair.

After putting your local coffee shop out of business years ago, Starbucks is looking to do the same to that bakery down the street. The coffee behemoth recently announced plans to begin testing various warm pastries, croissants and other baked items in hopes that their success will ultimately lead to national distribution.
