The
Difference Between HaidaBucks and Starbucks®
We
know it's not easy. I mean, it's just so confusing, we almost can't
stand it. But we've learned to tell the difference between a small,
friendly cafe in the NW of Canada and a corporate conglomerate that
employs too many lawyers with too much time on their hands. Now you
can, too. Take a look at the comparisons below. Study them carefully
and soon, you too will be able to tell the difference between HaidaBucks
and Starbucks®. If, after diligent study of the chart below, you're
still unable to tell the difference, there's probably no hope for you
whatsoever. Send your resume to Starbucks® and get a job
on their legal team.
