So I am slurping a grande black coffee at the local Starbucks |
|
Yes, I said Starbucks, but hold on, and hear me out...
While I am perusing today's Los Angeles Times, a barista goes to the window and places a "STOP" sign-shaped red warning sticker to tell potential robbers about the cash being kept in a time-delayed safe.
In big letters at the bottom of the sticker, is the logo for DIEBOLD. :tinfoilhat:
I betcha a double tall vanilla latte that the cash is one thing that never gets miscounted or hacked, eh? ;-)
Anyway, I usually defend Starbucks, whose labor practices and benefits aren't nearly as bad as that wretched Naomi Klein wants you to think, but here I can draw the line.
Unfortunately, LOTS of companies use Diebold in this way, and a boycott may not even make a damn difference.
Our local Krispy Kreme makes better coffee anyway, but the only way to resist the evil temptation of the World's Best Donuts is to not go at all. I have to maintain my curvy voluptuous figure, after all...
Damn dilemmas. Damn conscience. :P :donut:
Fuck Starbucks AND Diebold.

Because she did it while I was reading. The sight of their logo makes me hurl.

6. I agree, fuck Diebold. |

There's a Diebold office next to where I work and I seriously wanted to go break their windows after the election.

It won't be easy.
Guess we could pick what is non-essential or disposable - such as a brand of coffee - and separate that from more essential matters.
I think just about every bank is in cahoots with Diebold. Banks are evil, but using a mattress is out of the question...
